Nothing too technical on this route apart from maybe the bit up at Swineshaw res. The rest should be doable and you can come off it at any point to take the road home.
First time riding in the peaks the other week. (Since moving to Manchester nearly 3 years ago)
The descent from the second picture was great, Looping back down the Longendale trail.
My mate who only recently got into riding kept trying to climb 17% hills in his big ring and had to get off a couple times.
Decent back into Manchester at sunset made for great views.

Admittedly most of the riding was getting too/from the peaks, but was nice either way.
If anyone has suggestions for road/light gravel routes this side of the peaks Im all ears!
