West Yorkshire MTB – Whirlaw Common
I have been keen to explore the riding in my local area, so I purchased a book called West Yorkshire Mountain Biking South Penine Trails on Amazon, written by Benjamin Haworth.
The first ride in this book is Whirlaw Common, coming in at 11km with total ascent approx 250m. In total with our chatting, taking a wrong turn it took us 1.5 hourts to complete. Other than the monster climb at the start, you are then rewarded with descents/trraversing all the way back to the carpark.
There is nothing to phase you on this ride, and you get rewarded with some great views all along it.
I also have Callis Woods coming up for the next video which is half of the second ride in this book.

I don't reconise any of those trails. Must not of ridden that area before. looks a lovely area with the right weather!
Great video mate, the dual mics are working really well, looks like a nice fitness loop, i caught the little mention when you barged past those walkers, shame on you 🤣👍
Take Jonathan's advice 😂. Great video. Love the dynamic you two on the mics provides. Conditions were a bit grim but to me that is a great bit of xc adventure from old school book instructions. Have you tried Komoot 😎👍😜
Cracking video mate, quite different from the norm but really enjoyable.
I recognise that last descent from another channel…. Someone found it so you could ride it? 😆
Just come across your channel via @stopadoodledoo . Just subscribed mate. I will work through all the vids 😂😎👍.
