Manhoc ride out Sunday 17th August 2025 to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park – starting from Birch Services East at the earlier time of 10am in warm sunshine and perfect biking weather. It was eastward bound over scenic Saddleworth Moor and the northern Peak District to West Bretton and the Park. Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a pioneering large place that aims to challenge, inspire, inform and delight, welcoming over 300,000 visitors, each year, and inspiring walking trails visiting the openair galleries. Following lunch and a walk round, it was a change in heart of our shepherd, as we had time in hand. So, the planned route back was disregarded and it was a Gary-vant deep south and west into the Shrines woods and a mid-stop for coffee and cakes at Chapel en le Firth. Onwards to Buxton and the snake pass and Poplar for final coffee, cakes and hugs. Good company and a good ride.
