Start from Marple station.
Through brabyns, sneaky trails in woods, out to etherow lakes, up ernocroft woods, sneaky trails again, bit of road up towards rowarth (pub option) onto cown edge then lantern pike- bivi up there- sunrise views over kinder
Day 2- continue on pennine be up Chinley churn on dirt road, through Chinley (coffee stop if needed) back up bridleway over Chinley churn, drop into hayfield, sett valley trail to new mills, easy bridleways round Mellor cross, back up roman lakes road to Marple station.Never more than 10 miles from Marple as crow flies so any mechanicals etc shouldn’t be a disaster!
I’ve done all this on cross bike- some slow careful bits- but plenty of blasting on easy stuff too so ideal with a load or after a pint!
I’ll check dates with the boss tonight.
I’ve scouted a start of a fab route this morning. All possible with push chair so cross bike fine, mtb would allow some cheeky extra trails. Maybe 3 hrs max each day so home within 24 hrs.
Anyone fancy a quick overnighter then for the less skilled/ time rich?
Maybe early June?
