The Routes, Start Times and Location

Starting at 8:00- 8:30 from Longridge Civic Hall, Calder Avenue, Longridge, Lancashire, PR3 3HJ which has lots of parking and toilets available. 

This year our route heads east around Longridge Fell through the pretty village of Waddington and out through Sawley to Holden where the first Feed Station will be on the Copy Nook car park.

The short route turns left here and heads towards Slaidburn.  

The other two routes head towards Hellifield and into North Yorkshire. After crossing the River Ribble the 100 Km route turns right heading towards Barnoldswick where it meets the returning 100-mile route, which has turned left over the River Ribble and headed to Airton and onward to the feed station at Bolton Abbey (47 miles ). 

The return route goes South of Skipton and meets the 100 Km route above Barnoldswick heading back to the feed Station at Copy Nook ( at 76 miles for 100 Mile and at 41 miles for the 100 Km ) 

All routes join together back to Longridge through Newton, Dunsop Bridge, Whitewell and Chipping.

Almost all the routes are quiet country lanes with lovely villages and beautiful scenery.
