The UKs very own PBP (200)!
Start from Prestwich via Simister, Heywood, skirting Rochdale to Bacup. Then to Padiham, avoiding Burnley, before turning for Roughlee followed by a climb of Pendle Hill and a great descent via Downhan to enter the Forest of Bowland. No big Bowland climbs though as the route goes via Wigglesworth to Settle before turning for Bentham at 102km for a halfway break. Sedate (ish) roads continue via Wray and Caton to Galgate, then to Longridge which is the last control. Save some legs though for the climb via Tockholes and a return to Prestwich via Radcliffe.
Remote roads around Bowland and 3xAAA means this is not a perm to be undertaken lighlty so please consider the weather and amount of avialable daylight. You must use electronic proof of passage (GPS or E-Brevet) for this event.
Badge available Cost will be £3.00 inc P&P. Email if you’re interested.
Prestwich is just off Junction 17 of the M60 and there is free parking available nearby. It is 7km from Manchester city centre train stations.
