Yep and there are some challenging downhill runs off the top near the
transmitter. You are not supposed to ride there though.

it's essentially a private farm road, with the transmitter station in
its own compound. just beware of the sheep trying to nick your bike

Up it - no. Round it - yes, frequently when I lived wi' mi Mam an' Dad.
The (road) descent to the Black Dog at Belmont is excellent - slightly
bendy to give extra thrills. I remember overtaking cars down there when
I was younger. The 1:6 uphill to get there from Rivington was a bit of
a killer. Got my best speed (~45 mph) going down in though!
