The publication is A4 (210 x 297mm) in size and is printed on extremely tough, waterproof paper.
It includes two maps, each showing a route (see below left) and includes text directions and gradient profiles.
This area is between Hayfield and Marple (part of it lies in the Peak District National Park). It is a great area for those looking to improve their mountain biking skills through to experienced mountain bikers as it offers such varied sections. We have two titles: area 'Mellor Magic' is a great introduction to the area and 'Mellor Mania' offers a more intense experience.
We have Mellor Magic and Mellro Mania available as a Bundle Offer.
