As a former Yorkshire resident I have heard, with scepticism, good comment about the Forest of Bowland. Once lockdown is sufficiently eased I want to go for 3 possibly 4 days. I am not a camper and for a short holiday I don't mind paying a premium for places other than the budget hotels and McDs. OSM Outdoors suggest some routes but other than that I don't have a clue re good cycling destinations. Currently I am thinking
- AM leave London by rail as soon as the senior railcard is valid for Preston and travel on by taxi, to a hotel base somewhere with easy access to the area, possibly Clitheroe.
- ride Nly loop to Clapham, Settle, about 75k
- ride NWly loop to Dunsop Br, Oakenclough, about 90k
- tbd
- travel home
