Hiya all

Just wondering if there are any decent spots between Glossop and Barnsley on the TPT?

Cheers!

Theres a little nature reserve just past Dunford Bridge heading towards Penistone on the left. I'd recommend going a bit further into Thurlstone and after a few pints in the Huntsman, you'll sleep anywhere, tell them Duncan sent you and you'll get a warm welcome from Sam the landlady. If Andy Plummer is in, you could sleep in his garden which backs onto the trail.

Brilliant. Thanks very much indeed!

Re Andy, he's a fell runner and MRT legend, tell me when you're planning to be down that way and I'll contact him. He lives in Penistone, I lived in Millhouse Green for 10 years prior to moving to Spain.

There are a few (wife used to live in Barnsley *shudder*). It's a pretty busy trail over a lot of it, so you'll not necessarily get a properly quiet night.

Yeah... you don't wanna be spending a night out in Barnsley pls Allen Especially not on the TPT. There's only one thing worse than a STWer, you do know that right?? A Barnsley STWer Done a few shifts over there aswell and the legend is true...

Anyway, enjoy and hope you get a peaceful night sleep

It doesn't really sound too appealing...

Does it have to be between Glossop and Barnsley... Why not just walk the bike up towards Kinder Scout (and hope the temps don't go down to 7 overnight) and then ride across to the other side. So beautiful, it really is... A decent section of the TPT is near enough me. Plenty of houses/people around in the non-covid years... It'll most likely be people logged Allen.

Just nick one of Daves (FLV) routes from his Strava and do that. Most likely plenty bivvy spots

It's more a trip of necessity than a fun trip. Don't want to get public transport and unsure if I have the legs to do it in one....

I can't remember the last time I browsed Strava!

I also don't know where my roam is :(

Aha. Fair enough. To be fair I'll probably try out Duncans bivy spot sugggestion at some point and I made it sound more cruel than it is. It's actually rather lovely. Make sure you have some decent tires/gearing though

I'll have to use the gravel bike so I can get all the help I can haha.

Thanks for the help guys.

I could suggest a few at the Glossop end, but likely you want further along?

Glossop end is certainly an option. Yep please :)

I'll PM you some in a bit. It's possible to Pop off the longendale to some quieter spots without going too far off route

Perfect. Thanks!
