The 60 KM Route
The Northern Quarter heads directly out towards Oldham, Saddleworth and Rochdale. It travels along an undulating route to Shaw before your first test;. Buckstones Road straight up to Grains Bar, before a thrilling descent down the Grains Road to Delph and onto the roundabout at Diggle before a long steady climb to the feed station at the fine and stately Saddleworth Hotel. Here you can enjoy great food (including scones) and coffee whilst taking in another great view.
On departing the Saddleworth Hotel grounds, you’ll join those on the Classic route to traverse the moor to Newhey, down into Rochdale and heading southwest towards Edenfield to Heywood returning home via Bamford Road.
