I miss mtb'ing sometimes, but not enough to buy another bike..I'm thinking of doing the Mary towny loop on my giant tcr 1 with 32mm tyres on. Do you think it will cope or is it a silly idea?

Based on the fact that you gave up mountain biking because you weren't going to do any more proper off-road riding after your serious crash, I'd say starting to do it again only on a CX bike probably is silly!
However ...
It definitely can be done. Top CX rider Nick Craig rode over 90 miles of the Pennine Bridleway/MTL on his CX bike in just under 12 hours! Write-up here.
If you do it, take it easy!
Based on these amazing pictures I would say yes. Just be prepared to have your filling shaken out of your head in places.
