    Thinking of doing a 2 day ride at end of May, carrying all our kit & am after location & route ideas please – including overnight spots, either wild camping or maybe campsites.

    Thinking perhaps Wales, Peaks or maybe Lakes but all ideas welcome.

    Ta 🙂

    I could think of a few in Scotland. How rough ground? How many miles? How fit and keen are you?

    Devon coast to coast across Exmoor & Dartmoor?
    South downs way?

    2 pretty decent days… did 45 miles on the the S Downs the other weekend followed by 30 on the North Downs the next day so happy to do _at least_ that sort of distance

    Scotland a bit far really, that Exmoor/Dartmoor thing sounds interesting though…

    How about the Trans Cambrian Way – 100miles of Welsh off road. The IMBA site has details of the route.

    I am planning a 2 day ride – the TCW in a day then ride/limp back to the car on day 2 – not sure when though.

    I think there’s 3 different routes all about 100ish miles but with differing amounts of offroad.
    I just found THIS but I’m sure many others have advise on routes – I think Dibbs off here did Plymouth to Minehead a while back, might be an idea to contact him.

    Mary Towneley Loop of the Pennine Bridleway?
    Mary Towneley Loop

    Lots of other good riding in the area (eg Hebden Bridge) if 47 miles is too short

    It’s probably not very technical – but you wouldn’t want that with full camping kit, would you?
