PDMTB all-weather loop
The PDMTB all-weather loop is a great ride all year around, but after a wet winter, its merits are even greater. Due to the fact it is almost entirely a rocky route, it stands up incredibly well to the Peak District climate. With descents like the bridleway down into the Roych Clough (Pictured below) and the Classic Jacobs Ladder, you get a lot of bang for your buck.
The Route
Traditionally starting from Edale and heading along Mam Tor or I prefer the option of climbing Chapel Gate. Before joining the Pennie Bridleway towards Hayfield and back over the flanks of kinder to finish down Jacobs Ladder.
For more route information including a downloadable PDF guide including a map see the full article on PDMTB. Kieran did a video write-up/review of the route which is well worth checking out. You can read the full write-up here.
Jacobs Ladder is one of the longest descents in the Peak District. Starting up high on the edge of Kinder and dropping all the way to the valley floor.
