Lovely place. I go there quite a lot for "thinking" it's quite nice to be out of the way up there just relaxing.
Only ever taken my camera once though and got this at the "beach".

Nice pics, I enjoy a nice walk around there, then a blast over the tops to Marsden to finish it off
Nice route. My "test track" is this...

Some great roads up there.

Aha! There are a few of us that use it.
Up the twisty section past Dovestones.
Follow the road all the way to the long down hill section, just as it starts to climb take the fast off camber left towards Meltham, over the cattle grid. Left at the bottom when you hit Meltham, over the two mini roundabouts cruising along having a smoke break through all the residential areas, hit the NSL
areas again all the way to the creepy old derelict pub where you take a left into Diggle.
Great drive.

Yeah it's great on a quiet day. Tbh I prefer driving up there at night when it's dark.
Can see things coming a mile off up there with headlights on.

Yeah I am. Have a few friends up in Mossley so usually go from there, otherwise I do that route but in reverse.

Cool, i'm up in Lees. So good to just get in the car and have great roads so close.
I might have to give that route a bash - I love the roads round there. Missed the turning for dovestones coming from Mossley yesterday - and there was no where to turn around for what seemed like miles upon miles. Finally whizzed around, shot back through the twisties and hand to practically do a three point turn to get in the dovestones turn-off.
true story.

Yeah the roads up there are great. That twisty section near Dovestones is great coming down. You can really get the rear end snaking around under braking. Lift off oversteer is too snappy round there to do.
