Halo and The Singing Tree

Ride out with Dan in the afternoon. Set off to the Halo then dropped down round the back of the ski slope. The weather was very poor. Rain, wind, and mist, so we decided not to go to Cowpe. Instead we went back towards Burnley and The Singing Ringing Tree.

Peel Tower Loop

Midweek ride with Dan on the Peel Loop. Found a new route to avoid going into Ramsbottom, which connects between Stubbins and Helmshore Rd. A nice track next to a stream part of the National Trust.
