• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This guidebook covers the northern stages of the Pennine Bridleway, through Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumbria, a dedicated and waymarked mountain biking and horse-riding trail that opened in 2011. Using part of the Mary Towneley Loop, the route is described for mountain bikers from Summit, just outside Rochdale all the way to Ravenstonedale in Cumbria, in about 176km.

11 circular day mountain bike routes are included for those who do not wish to ride the whole route as a linear trail. It splits the main bridleway into rides of 8 - 16 miles in length.

A grand total of 384km of trail are covered, mapped using OS map extracts and illustrated with profiles, photographed and described in enough detail to suit all levels of navigational ability. Appendices also offer information on local facilities, accommodation, bike shops and other useful contacts for planning your days out or longer trip along the Bridleway, and information provided before each route description includes distance, ascent, grading, estimated time and percentage of route off-road, as well as maps needed and pubs and cafes en route.

Autorenporträt

Originally hailing from Sunderland, Keith Bradbury's early interest was in white water and sea canoeing. After spells of trekking in Nepal and canoe guiding in France, a teaching job in Kendal dictated that the Lake District would be his next playground. Walking and rock climbing then became his new passions, until a chance introduction to caving led to a rekindled love affair with the Yorkshire Dales and his heart was lost forever! The last 20 years have been a delightful exploration of those secret, hidden places, either underground with helmet and lamp, or above, on his (t)rusty mountain bike. Keith is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild and prides himself on an unrivalled knowledge of the bridleways of the Lake District and the Northern Dales.
