Good stuff, cheers for the link Rich. I'm not sure where that second pic down is (and don't tell me!) But it makes me want to ride that whole trail to find out. What's the approx road / off-road mix?

Nice one Rich and Tom. I did think of joining you when you were passing close to us but that day I was down in Saddleworth with work :roll:

Recognise the twisty track and the big puddle shots :wink:

James, if you stick to the actual route, there's very little road. We did a bit of road though to save time on a few sections.

Enjoyed that, thanks Rich. Good to see you boys know how to take it (relatively) easy and eat well, visit friends, etc. as well as the big epics :-bd
