Well at least with anyone who moans about it they should not be short of volunteers, of course nobody would complain and then not do anything to help would they.
Oooh get you haha
Its funny you should mention volunteering as I get a day through work for volunteering, I'm trying to get some things organised with a new(ish) cycle group we have so I'll see where that goes. Its more likely I could end up doing something on the TransPennineTrail as that is what I ride more but anything is possible TBH
Couple more, took on my phone so poor quality:
Ideal NCN material here, its outside Sheffield on NCN67 a disused railway offers a flat surface that'll probably go near(ish) somewhere you want to go. Theres miles of this sort of trackbed unused BTW that I think should be.
Not quite so ideal, again its the same route so this is kinda what I mean - a route can start of pretty nice but theres a little lack of consistancy for a 'National Cycle Network'. Its not just the surface either as the thinner path can cause probs, I do take care on such paths but I've been passed by other cyclists that dont.
