Meeting Point: Langsett Res'r, approx 4 miles north of Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire. Postcode: S36 4GY is for the Waggon & Horses pub, the car park is just before/just after this pub. Free parking and toilets.
Time: 10:00am meet for 10:30am start. This is a long ride and don't expect to be back at the start point until tea time if we do the full route.
Route: A long climb over the legendary Cut Gate and down to Ladybower and Derwent Reservoirs. Technical singletrack all the way with some steep descents. We then continue along the waterside to the cafe. we then return along the shores of the reservoir and climb Margery Hill before the final 6 mile descent back to the start point. Some of the UKs finest natural singletrack is on offer!

Re:
Right guys and any secret gals it's this weekend so I need some definite names and numbers now so who is coming ? I've had a request from 1 rider up North if it's possible to move it forward to Saturday , I don't have a problem but if it causes an issue for others then it stays as Sunday (he should be coming either day but given the travel distance it's easier for him on Sat ).
