Stage two of the Wednesday Peak Grimpeurs, this time over a surprisingly quiet Snake Pass with the heather at its purplest. It gets strenuous over Bamford and Abney Moors. Return to Marple via Monyash (our favourite Peak cafe), Millers Dale and Combs.

Please note that we can't handle entries on the line, but it's really easy to enter the event, either online or through the post - just click on the "Enter this event" button and follow the instructions.

There is also nowhere to leave panniers. If you don't want to carry unnecessary luggage around the Peak District you can try asking a fellow rider to let you leave stuff in a car.
