Started to do the Tintwistle loop on the PBW website, but hate out and backs, so made into a loop by dropping down to the canal, up through stalybridge country park, below Hobson Moor to Roe Cross, towards Hollingworth Hall and down to Arnfield Resr. Front brake failed so all on 1 brake. Was further/ probably harder than the official route (down as 3 - 5 1/2 hr) Did it in less than 2 1/4.
