Map Information:

This area is beween Hayfield and Marple (part of it lies in the Peak District National Park). It is a great area for those looking to improve their mountain biking skills through to experienced mountain bikers as it offers such varied sections. We have two titles: area 'Mellor Magic' is a great introduction to the area and 'Mellor Mania' offers a more intense experience. We have the two maps as a Multi Buy Offer.

The publication is A4 (210 x 297mm) in size and comes in a sealed waterproof cover. There are two maps (one on each side), each showing a route (see below) and includes text directions and gradient profile.
