Thanks all, glad you enjoyed the video and even better that you were able to identify place names and trails and hopefully it brought back good memories.
As I mentioned in a previous post (and on the vid) overall I enjoyed the whole day it was just a bit unfortunate that all the misdirection, rerouting, bad map-reading, getting lost were in the first 25k which made it feel like a very slow start.
The 15k into Leicester along the canals and rivers was beautiful as were many other parts. I would classify many of the trails as re-purposed MTB trails in terms of the terrain and also the average speed that I was able to maintain and I wouldn't give the route a go in winter as I imagine the trails could get very messy.
