Bolton sits between the M61 and the West Pennine Moors, so we get calls from commuters on the motorway and from weekend riders up on Belmont Road and over Winter Hill.
Where riders get stuck around Bolton
- M61 junctions 3 to 6: Fast motorway traffic. Hard shoulder, barrier, then call.
- A666 St Peter’s Way and the Kearsley spur: A busy dual carriageway into town.
- A675 Belmont Road over the moors: A great road with sharp bends, open moorland and weather that changes fast.
- Middlebrook and Horwich: Retail park car parks and the stadium area on event days.
Local knowledge
Up on the A675 past Belmont, mobile signal can drop out and there’s little shelter. If the bike stops on the moor, get yourself and the bike off the road. A what3words address helps us find you quickly where there are no house numbers.
On fine weekends riders gather around Rivington and Winter Hill. If the bike won’t start in a car park there, tell us which one, for example Rivington Hall Barn, and whether the gate closes in the evening.
