Join us for a scenic and social 12-mile bike ride from Castleton along the Rochdale Canal to Hollingworth Lake and back.

We’ll follow a relaxed pace along mostly flat (if a bit bumpy in parts) towpaths, with a break at the lake for ice cream or coffee. Bring a packed lunch if you fancy a lakeside picnic. Expect good views, good company, and a low-key leg stretch.

Distance: ~12 miles
Pace: Easy, sociable (8–10 mph)
Route: Canal paths and shared trails, some bumpy/muddy sections possible
Terrain: Mostly flat, hybrid or mountain bikes best suited
Break stop: Hollingworth Lake – café, ice cream, toilets available
Lunch: Optional – bring a packed lunch or grab something at the lake

Who’s it for?
This ride is ideal for anyone comfortable riding around 12 miles at a gentle pace. It’s perfect for newer riders or those looking for a relaxed ride in a friendly group. As with all OutdoorLads rides, helmets are required.

Let’s roll into summer with good chat, scenic waterside paths, and maybe a 99 Flake
