16.3 miles 504miles.

But I would roll 500 miles
And I would roll 500 more

A beautiful day. Thanks Janet for running us up. Colin , Dan and Finn with us. Down through Limestone hushings. Lapwing, curlew and a first cuckoo. Beautiful. On Burnley Way past reservoirs and into Worsthorne. Onwards past Queen Street mill - steam powered weaving mill. And into top of Nelson and to Helen’s dad’s for tea and toasted teacakes😊. Onwards past the site of our old school and to the canal - Leeds and Liverpool- where Mum was waiting. Helped a lady get through the lock. Onwards and upwards to Hamishs cafe. Mum and Colin went back for a vehicle to collect us and go to Pendle. But we had to retrace our steps a little as I’d lost my sunnies- found😊Read more

Last day at my Mum’s. Bit of a cooler, windier morning. Colin dropped us off before heading north. Upwards past Friendly donkeys and onwards along Pennine Bridleway. Good progress to Gisburn where we stopped for refreshments. Very nice too. North on Ribbleway. Mostly reasonably signed. Good views of Ingleborough and Pen Y Ghent. Curlews and a golden plover. Through Rathmell where we stopped to eat Mum’s cake and into Settle for a cider and provisions before ending at Fiona and Nick’s for a lovely evening.Read more
Traveler Please give us a bit of notice before Drymen if you can as cafe members would like to meet you both there. I'm guessing about 11 days from now all being well.

Day 105
Retail Park off Jtn 6 of the M65
February 13 in England ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
When I arrived to find a huge fence topped with barbed wire I was worried that it would be like being at the zoo as the riders pedalled past free on the other side and I waved. With a bit of walking around I did finally find a gap in the fence. If you could block out the roar of traffic on the M65 and the spinning class blasting out of the nearby gym, it was quite idyllic.

I checked the live location feed and started the stopwatch to see how long it takes to go from one side of Blackburn to the other on a bike along the canal. Including a detour due to the towpath being closed and stops for photos, the answer is roughly 53 mins, I reckon it wouldn't be much different in a car and way more stressful.

When everyone arrived it was unanimously agreed to call it a day. Another 27.22km in the bag and some very muddy bikes and children.Read more
Traveler Another lovely, energetic day for you. XX
