ROUTE TWO

Staffs Lite, 46 miles Enjoy the gentler side There’s only one stiff climb on this route, which comes at the start. Scoot down to the beautiful Manifold Trail (flat, tarmac but bumpy; cafés). You can then enjoy mild hills, ethereal views and fairytale Dorset-like sunken lanes back to Leek. Stop at Dimmingdale for an appreciated snack. Get the route: tinyurl.com/cplus-staffslite
