Stupid Idea – GDR style endurance event on Pennine Bridleway – Page 2 – Bike Forum

BillOddie · 2009-02-10T14:52:35Z

Was looking at the Pennine Bridleway and the Mary Townley Loop for a bivvy trip, then it occured to me that it might make for a good route for a self supported endurance style event. Up, around the MTL, then back. Not sure about places to sneak a cheeky bivvy kip as I guess there are areas that it passes through are fairly well populated. Hmmmmm Any comments?

When will bikely allow use of OS maps for some proper off-road mapping?

If you want OS maps, try [url=

By coincidence I'm off on a scouting mission in March to do a similar 100 mile route for a self-supported challenge later in the year. Doing it first off in a three-day exploration with the idea of coming back in the summer to do it in one go... Doubtless it'll appear in the mag eventually...

Epicyclo, Molgrips etc - anyone doing that is not liable to enter this type of event... No prize money, no point in cheating.
