The Cottonopolis

A broad circuit of north west England. With 415km and 7100m of climbing it’s certainly not going to be for everyone but if you like a challenge…

**You are strongly advised after this event to to plan for an adequate period of sleep before driving**

A 6am start from Horwich near Bolton, north through the Forest of Bowland, east across the Dales, south via Ripon and Skipton, up and down the steep West York valleys, into the Peak District via Strines Road, west via Castleton and Winnats Pass, some flat bits at the end through Cheshire in the evening or early hours to finish back at McDonalds in Horwich. Event badge included in the entry.

Horwich is just off junction 6 of the M61. The nearest train station is Horwich Parkway with Bolton not very away either.
