I've recently moved near to New Mills/Mellor Derbyshire/Cheshire border. Are there any MT riders in the area that could show me some good tracks or who want to go out for a ride. I've done some exploring already but a bit of local knowledge would be helpful.
Cheers

Hello, nice area, I used to go off roading near there with a 4x4 club some time ago. Good luck finding some decent green lanes.

And good luck finding a few club members to ride with,we have organised a sw mtriders club meet up down here where we talk rubbish an laugh about some other club members once a month, maybe worth trying to get that together up there. All the best

Yep makes sense. Thanks for the sensible advice and kind offer. Will have to rethink I guess... watch this space

If you're new to an area, or just keen to explore the local lanes, have a look at Trailwise:
http://www.trailwise.org.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You can see what's in a local area, with good information on any restrictions. If you are really keen, then worth joining the TRF, then you can see the whole map on Trailwse, and also get to know some good local guides.
Once you know the local lanes, then we can come along and ride with you
Lovely area, I use to live at Hazel Grove, but that was when the children were growing up and I was not allowed a bike

I might join you as well, and maybe with Rhys my son on his Honda CBF 125.
