Hi folks

Has anyone here ridden the Pennine bridleway from Middleton in the Peak District to Kirkby Stephen?

I'm trying to get an idea of how many days for a group of keen but average riders to complete it as information online is lacking.

Two very long days, or three funner ones!

Settle to KS takes me about seven hours, as a guide.

Not ridden it but am planning something similar myself for next year. Three days would do it for our lot I reckon, without killing anyone, given reasonable conditions. We live on the route so we know what the riding is like pretty well. We're not complete slobs but we're not exactly epic endurance racing machines either...

We did Helwith Bridge to KS in 5.5 hours I think - on cx bikes though. 3 days for fun I reckon.
