Why is the Pennine ...
 

[Closed] Why is the Pennine Bridleway called the Pennine Bridleway, when it isn't.

I often ride on the 'pennine bridleway' and thought about riding further on it; when i consulted my map, it's not all marked as a bridleway. Is this correct?

It's an ongoing project. the original aim was to have it open by 2009, but dealng with landowners is a complex matter, and when bikes and rights of way are involved people become intractable and it all starts costing lots and lots of money

at the moment, it's open from Middleton Top to somewhere around Settle in the Yorkshire dales, with the odd bit extra here and there

The websites your best bet.
Which area are you riding and how up to date is your map?
Eventually all the PBW will by bridleway status or above, it just may be that some councils haven't upgraded/dedicated the sections just yet.
