Hey every one.
Just read the story about strothes hall on the site.
Could someone tell me where this is? as me and the G/F are looking for new places to ride more local than Dalby and Delamere.
Gaz

Delamere is fun Ive got to go back there! Anyway Storthes!! Its actually called boothroyd wood but is located by the Huddersfield Uni campus Storthes Hall! map hereand hereHead out of Huddersfield (towards Bansley?) on the A629 Pennistone road as you approch High Burton you will see a small sign for Storthes Hall University Buildings! This takes you up Storthes Hall lane, go right to the top of the hill and turn left at the t junction, in 100yards turn left again onto Wood lane. Park up as the road widens on a right hand bend will usually be plenty of other cars! Go through the gap in the wall and follow the main path nest to the wall/field downhill,, as the wall ends you will cross a path junction head straight on 20 or 30 yards and you will see the start of the DH track just to your left. Most of the track is rollable apart from two things!! The first jump is a double its not hard with the run up you get but beware. Also after the series of tight berms theres a 5ft drop off with a gap to the landing! Both have routes round on the left so you can look before you leap! |
