Hi everyone - a few of us are planning a charity ride next month and wondered if anyone has done this before and knows the way.

We'd like to go over the peaks, lakes and the Cairngorms. We'll be carrying all our belongings and set ourselves 8 days.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
RR

I can recommend this for the exit from London:

Leave the route at Harringworth Viaduct to head over to the Peaks.

if you go via Braemar be sure to stop at The Bothy Braemar, also a decent outdoors shop called Braemar Mountain Sports

Could follow the old military road up from Spittal of Glenshee, stopping at Loch Callater, with Callater Lodge Bothy; worth a stop if you are not using bnb/hotel

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
