[#3181948]

Blanchland & Edmunbyers, two of the finest bits of singletrack. 19.5miles, 1934ft climbing. Bit windy, but dry and fast 😀

Blanchland/Edmundbyers was one of the 1st routes I ever did, about 20 years ago! Haven't done it for about 7-8 years now.
The names are all coming back from that area, Pennypie House, Embley Fell, Ladle Well, Hangman Hill, the Broadway, Sinderhope Carrs (cheeky), ahh, memories.
Is that track from Baybridge to Riddlehamhope a bridleway yet? cos it should be!

I can't figure out how to put a picture of the map up, but here's what I did today: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/51998144/

Met some STW-ers (hi P20 and Ahsat!) and generally had a lovely afternoon out on the moors!

Not sure I'd do the trudge up to Bolt's Law again though - seemed like a lot of hard work for a very meagre downhill, although it was a nice view. The trail across Edmundbyers Common, however, was ace!

Small loop around Ben Nevis with a bijoux amount of climbing and 4 trips to and from the campsite. About 80 km I suppose. Too tired to work out how to do a map thing.

I rode this route pretty much but missed out the furthest descent and ascent preferring to just go straight up to the top of the hill and back..

I also rode the cheeky pheasant pens twice and added a couple of easy road miles at the start and finish..
pooped.. 😀

What is the best free website/program for mapping your routes?

did a nice 50k over scout moor, crag & lee quarries and back over holcombe, with 1200m climbing - be good to record it somewhere!

lipseal - I just borrowed the data and graph from this [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stw-forum-ride-east-dartmoor-3911 ]thread[/url].. I think foxyrider explains how to create the graph if you clicky..

orena45 - your link isn't working.. there were a few out and about on East Dartmoor yesterday.. perfect afternoon for it.. I imagine I passed you en route somewhere..
