We set off from the northern tip of Barnsley and head through the very wet and muddy trails through to the south of Wakefield to Newmillerdam Country Park. It’s a great ride all in all, even the rain didn’t spoil it. Enjoy!

Floods and detours aside, I rather enjoyed this ride. Now hopefully the rain can go away for a bit 😅
I think most of that is a ride you need to do again probably in summer or not after 2 months of solid rain🤣🤣
The coal line onto lee lane it used to stay flooded most of the year round before it was made an official trail and they put all the drains in, I haven't seen it like that ever. Same as the trail from station road into Notton i've never seen that flood before.
Love Bottle & Co – subbed!
As you re-enetered Newmillerdam, did you go up that steep track to the right? After the steps where you said 'Well I'm not going up there!' 😂 I've never been able to crack it in one go, but I will do one day!
Nice ride mate, I've got a few around Wakey's country parks on my Strava – they are worth a go, with plenty of coffee/beer stops 👍
