We had such a brilliant day in the Peak District following a classic loop that many mountain bikers will know and love.
Starting in Castleton, we rode up Mam Tor and headed over towards Hayfield before turning back on ourselves to descent the famous ‘Jacobs Ladder’ into Edale.
This route is filled with amazing descents and really rewarding views.
Castleton has a number of cafes for a post ride brew too.
Hope you enjoy!

I am getting a new bike soon and I really like this vid
My hands are hurting just watching this video😬
They should have bike friendly gates along some of the paths for cyclists.
Oh mate that was so nice to watch! Used to ride that (but in the opposite direction for some reason) in the late 80s, but not quite as fast as you 🙂 👍
Did this in reverse while backpacking the other weekend. Great fun but soooo much climbing!
where are the trees?
Did this exact ride today on the strength of this video. Absolutely brilliant, amazing decents but the climbs are pretty horrible!
Great video, I'm just planning my first few peak mtb rides now, we're you able to stay on bridleways the whole time or are people happy to ride on footpaths? I'm just trying to figure out where I can and can't go!
The thing is It would be so cool to ride them and it would be easy to get to them (because i live in sheffield) but its just too advanced for me :/
What wheel size you using mate ?
Shake those bingo wings out
Once I get my bike I’m heading up there. Amazing lads.
Great video – loved the intro!
Hi, where is this trail in 8:41 ? Thanks
Great vid mate looks a fantastic route do you have the route on Strava or similar or know where I can get it ?
I don’t think this track is safe for us. 😅
Great vid dude .what's your link to Strava I've rode Jacobs before but fancy hitting a few of these you rode here .I've got a feiyutech gimbal aswell ,or did untill it went all weird and started shaking . apparently a issue they have.have you had any problems with yours mate?
Those gulleys are a bugger!
Turning a beautiful quite place to be into a fast race track locals must love it
i wanna give this route a go you think my bike would survive its a SISKIU D7 classed as a downcountry bike its 29" and 120mm front but its really aggressive geometry
Is this route on trailforks? Love to download for my Garmin
Have you considered a gravel bike? 🤣🙈😱
Great video and commentary. Made me smile 👍👍👍
How long does this take to cycle? Cheers
