Great video ,packed with useful information and great place.I love to go back there whenever I can. I have one question off topic, always wondered (as I'm walker rather than biker) why people don't use mudguards on their bikes?99%of the bikers have their clothes wet and dirty on their backs and a simple mudguard would solve that.Just curious about it :)thanks Kris

Hi and thanks for the feedback. I can only talk from my personal opinion on the mud guard thing, for the amount of time I get soaking wet or so dirty I don't think that the extra weight (negligible I know) and the bad aesthetics when they are on justify using them. Other rider's experience may be very different. Steve

Will be tackling this fairly soon :) Which way round would you say is the better route?

[@CycleroutesInfo]

I'd say anticlockwise, leave the visitor center hit the road and head left down the road towards the A57.

Cycle Routes Cool, cheers :)

What camera are you using, going to have a go at this over the next few weeks I think.

[@jugglerjim01]

@@moxymagic Is that to me or Cycle Routes? I'm pretty sure he uses a GoPro, I use a variety depending on the weather lol When you go get there relatively early, I was there today and as I left at 12 nearly all the parking was full. ☺️

@@jugglerjim01 ye sorry it was to cycle routes.

[@Idk-yw8yg]

Can you advise how long it roughly takes to bike around either way

[@CycleroutesInfo]

Hi +Daniel Ambler, the route is around 14 miles, so 1.5 - 2 hours if taking it easy.
