Cycle to Millersdale viaduct for an exciting 80ft abseil! You'll hop on your bike at the old Thornbridge Hall station, heading along the Monsal Trail , an old railway line that passes through a narrow limestone valley and 3 tunnels. The Monsal Trail is wide and flat for a sociable rid out to the abseil.

Starting directly from the Big Shakeout site this makes an ideal activity for groups of friends or families with half a day to fill. It's around a 30 minute cycle to and from the abseil, along a flat and wide cycle trail. It's a scenic ride with the chance to test your head for heights!
