Mtb routes between Dewsbury/Rothwell and York

As per title. Getting sick of the usual road commute and having an off road route for my commute would mean it pushes me to finish my Sonder sooner.

Anyone know any decent tracks between West and North Yorkshire. I'm in Dewsbury and would want to get to York via the tracks??

Re: Sonder Transmitter

I'm building my Sonder Transmitter for bikepacking.

You've still got a chumk of grim, busy A roads round the east of Manchester in that. That stretch from Oldham to Stockport is pretty nasty. There are miles better roads to the east which just skirt the west of the Peak District - something like this https://www.strava.com/routes/12079337 lets you g...
