Otherwise it seems to be a Hobson's choice of a Premier Inn in either Blackburn or Burnley
25 or 20km from the start. It's not so bad considering what's coming after. If you stayed in Clitheroe you'd still need to get there on the Fri night which would lose you some time (train or ride?)
If I drove, I could probably find a place to park and sleep in the back of the car. Not great but an option.
Yeah, it's annoying there's no real decent accommodation options near Clitheroe, and a bit of a slog up on the train.
I'd happily Air BnB it in someone's garage if it meant more time in bed and less riding to and from the depart tbh! I don't feel like I need to prove anything there.
