'RALLY' ROUTE (Proposed by Veritas)
The Turnpike Inn, the meeting up point, via the A627 down into Saddleworth, through the Saddleworth villages and from there to Stalybridge by the B6175. Stalybridge to Glossop will be on dull main roads, no way to avoid it. In the centre of Glossop we will make a left at the crossroads and join the B6105 for the run up out of Glossop, over the old rail lines and past Torside reservoir.

This is scenic twisty and fast in places.
From the B6105 we join the A628 for about a mile before turning off onto the A6024 for the run up to Holme Moss.

This is another well known road, fast and open, just beware of the sheep! The photo opportunity is at the summit, big car park opposite the radio mast.
From there we descend toward Holmfirth and then by a short, narrow back road to join the A635.
The pub, The Ford Inn (See below), which do food, has an adequate car park and is on the A635, minutes away.
After lunch, people can either head off toward Holmfirth and Yorkshire, or follow Veritas over Saddleworth Moor back to Saddleworth in the direction of Manchester.

LUNCH:
The Ford Inn & Restaurant
Greenfield Road
Holmfirth
