"Don't know anywhere in the south or Cambridge it’s all a bit flat but this way the Peak District is vast and ideal for bike trails and hiking / peaks. Favourites are Edale/Kinder scout, Castleton, high peak trail, tissington trail, ladybower and Derwent reservoir, Winn hill , Mam Tor and Derwent edge. The Y3P loop in Yorkshire is also good - 26 miles and good for hiking and mostly cycleable, apart from the 3rd peak , closer to here is Sherwood pines a mix of graded bike trails." i definitely need to explore Yorkshire more. I rattle your brains when i plan to go there again. Beautiful part of England | |||

"Cycled the sea to sea (c2c) last year from Whitehaven to Newcastle. Did in 24 hours on MTB and took the off road sections. It’s a really good and well signed route and would definitely recommend doing over 3-4 days and b&b especially around Keswick and Penrith it’s beautiful. There’s only really one challenging hill, Hart-side hill the rest is fairly easy going and you can avoid off road sections and use a road or hybrid bike if you prefer. " Done that. Coast to coast. Over 3 - 4 days. Had motorhome backup. Party of 12 or so. Finished at South Shields. | |||

"We are incredibly fortunate to live where we do. South Wales boasts some excellent mountain bike tracks and for waking we are 20 minute drive from either the Gower or the Brecon Beacons. We both love North Wales too (hope to live there sometime in the not too distant future) and I (mr) particularly love Scotland. I've not done any MTB up there but the walking and mountaineering is fantastic. " Can’t fault the Gower coastline, or any of the coastline from Mumbles right over to Carmarthen and beyond..God’s own country | |||

"Our coast, from Barry to ogmore. We think it's stunning, and the waterfalls, Brecon.. " I agree - underrated actually. People rightly adore the Gower and Pembrokeshire, but it’s a special stretch in its own right. I’ve actually fallen more and more in love with the remote bits of Mid Wales in recent times. There a real sense of space and wildness there. | |||

"Where do you guys go riding or hiking. Need some inspiration and great to get in touch with people with similar interests (as we can no longer go to clubs and meets anymore) " Cannock Chase used to be close for me.....and has a whole range of MTB runs....and it is free. Something for the novice..... through to the more advanced. Would love to do some dirty off road riding with you (if you fancied a spin and company). | |||
