Yesterday ( 6th Aug ), rode the Pennine Bridleway from Kirkby Stephen railway station to Cam End (then down the Cam High Road to Gearstones and Ribblehead station), accompanied by a young lady of this parish. The first off-road section from Street to the Mallerstang valley ( over High Dolphinsty ) would be better suited to a F/S MTB, we did quite a bit of "hike & bike" with the 'crossers, even on the initially very steep part of the descent into Mallerstang. The rest of the route was ideal for the cross bikes. Now done the Settle Loop and everything N of it, on 'cross bikes. Now looking to connect the Settle Loop to the Mary Towneley Loop.
