5.0 out of 5 stars A Local View, 22 Dec 2007
By Philip Raynor (Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jon Barton's White Peak Mountain Biking: The Pure Trails is a fantastic guide to 21 mountain bike circuits in the White Peak. The rides are split into different types of ride that will satisfy a wide variety of riders. Classics are just that, classic rides that are relatively short (12km-23km) with medium to hard ascents and descents that are great for a quick evening ride in summer, a night ride in winter or when time is generally short. The remainder are split into Epics, which are longer and sometimes more technical, and Enduros, which are longer still, take much of the day and incorporate more of the best riding that the White Peak can offer. Other sections provide information on family rides, top uphills and downhills and top sections of singletrack. There is also a good section on general information that makes a trip more amenable; like local bike shops, bike hire, food and drink and accomodation and there is plenty of opportunity to create your own new routes by linking up circuits in the guide.

The mapping within the guide is clear and simple and though not based on Ordnance Survey mapping it compares favourably and is more than adequate to guide you around the routes without taking additional maps with you. One of the best features is an altitude profile, which allows you to see how the gradients of the ride vary along the route and each of the routes is also described in text, bringing out key signs and buildings to look for on route to help you around.

Living on the outskirts of the Peak District, I wasn't sure whether White Peak Mountain Biking: The Pure Trails could provide me with more knowledge about the trails available than I already had. However over the last year I have explored new areas of the White Peak and enjoyed steep climbs, fast descents and sweet singletrack that I would never have known about. This book would not be out of place in the guide library of local riders or those who live further afield and is a must for anyone visiting the White Peak for the first time who wants to get the most out of the trails in the area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to an often overlooked area, 24 April 2008
By A. Cherry (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This a great up to date guide to an area that is often over looked by its more famous Dark peak cousin. The white peak is just as good an area to ride as its grit stone neighbour and this guide does it justice.

Well written and explained routes, with excellent well drawn maps (do prefer the maps in the later released v-graphics guides), useful info on where to eat and drink (real ale pubs too) on or after your ride. Great gradient profiles too.

Like the truthful writing that tells you that some of the routes get very muddy in the winter so best avoided for more ridable routes.

Even for a Sheffield local it took me on some trails that i've never rode before.

A very slicky produced guide

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking little guide, 9 Feb 2008
By T. Wilson (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've got both these guides (Dark and White Peak) and they are equally excellent. Full of easy to read maps, clear route descriptions of some classic rides as well as gems you'd never find unless you spend as much time as the authors have riding in the Peak. An ideal size that can easily be stashed and accessed whilst riding. Highly recommended for anyone biking off road in the Peak from first timers to seasoned riders. The measure of a good guide is it makes you want to go biking as soon as you start reading it, and I can guarantee this will certainly do that!
