Hi guys!

I was just wondering if anyone has ridden upto the top of Winter Hill near
Bolton?

Yep and there are some challenging downhill runs off the top near the
transmitter. You are not supposed to ride there though.

it's essentially a private farm road, with the transmitter station in
its own compound. just beware of the sheep trying to nick your bike

Up it - no. Round it - yes, frequently when I lived wi' mi Mam an' Dad.
The (road) descent to the Black Dog at Belmont is excellent - slightly
bendy to give extra thrills. I remember overtaking cars down there when
I was younger. The 1:6 uphill to get there from Rivington was a bit of
a killer. Got my best speed (~45 mph) going down in though!
