This stage begins by exploring the woodlands of the Gleadless Valley, before rising up through residential streets to enter Meersbrook Park at its highest point – excellent altitude training!

Marvel (though not for too long!) at the 16th century half-timbered Bishops’ House at the entrance to the park, shortly after which you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the Outdoor City.

You’ll be wishing you had skis handy for the final few controls as you swiftly descend the slopes to finish at the bottom (no cable car available to get back to the top though!)
