Cotswold - Off-Road Bike Routes
£ 6.99 Normal Price: £6.99 • 3rd Edition • 24 Pages • 112mm x 240mm • ISBN 9 78185965 189 6 • Ten brilliant circular touring routes take you off the beaten track, up and down dale, to explore the very best trails in the Cotswolds... • Researched by Al Churcher, an experienced off and on road cyclist. • Matt laminated, waterproof and tear resistant The Cotswolds may not have the heart pumping drama and rugged crags, nor the uphill pushes and steep descents of the more traditional mountain biking areas such as the Peak District or North Wales. The countryside is green and lush, and the hills are rolling rather than rugged. Nevertheless, the region offers some excellent off-road cycling and, for the cross-country rider who wants long green lanes criss-crossing some of England's most beautiful landscapes and linking some of her most beautiful villages, the routes on this map are for you. The routes are graded: easy, moderate and more strenuous although none are what could be called hard core mountain bike routes. Approximate times and mileage are included. The routes include the: 1. Bibury Circuit. 2. Bisley-Edgeworth-Woodmancote Circuit. 3. Bredon Hill-Dumbleton Circuit. 4. Broadway Circuit. 5. Charlbury Circuit. 6. Cotswold Water Park Circuit. 7. Great Tew Circuit. 8. Northleach Circuit. 9. Stow-Slaughters Circuit. 10. Winchcombe Circuit. |

Lake District Mountain Bike Routes
£ 5.99 Price: £5.99
Normal RRP: £6.99 Buy This Map-Guide & Get The Peak District Mountain Bike Routes Map, Free! • 2nd Edition • 24 Pages • 112mm x 240mm • ISBN 9 78185965 192 6 Al Churcher has devised 10 of the best off-road touring routes in the Lake District. This is an easy to fold out tear-resistant map that has been gloss laminated for protection. The routes are graded with approximate time & mileage. Unsurprisingly, the mountainous landscape of the Lake District has some of the toughest mountain biking in the UK and, on major routes crossing the steep sided ridges between major valleys, long pushes or carries are inescapable - even for the fittest. This is only one aspect of the Lake District. As well as the mountains, you are never far from streams, lakes, ancient forests, rolling pastures and farm buildings. The variety of scenery and terrain is impressive and great for off-roading. There are plenty of challenging climbs and fast descents to get the adrenaline buzzing - though some are quite rough - and you will often feel remote and cut off from the world. The routes are graded: easy, moderate and more strenuous although none are what could be called hard core mountain bike routes. These routes include: 1. The Skiddaw Round. 2. Around Blencathra. 3. The Keswick Railway Path & Castlerigg Stone Circle. 4. Threlkeld, Troutbeck & The Old Coach Road. 5. Loweswater Circuit & Buttermere Circuit. 6. Watendlath - Honister Circuit. 7. Pooley Bridge - Askham Fell. 8. Eskdale. 9. Coniston - Walna Scar Road-Broughton Moor (& Banishead Quarries - Torver). 10. Windermere - Kentmere & The Garburn Pass. |

Peak District Mountain Bike Routes
£ 5.99 Price: £5.99
Normal RRP: £6.99 Buy This Map-Guide & Get the The Lake District Mountain Bike Routes Map, Free! • 3rd Edition • 24 Pages • 112mm x 240mm• ISBN 9 78185965 167 4 Al Churcher, Kim George and Andy Birkby, all residents of the Peak District for many years have devised 10 of the best off-road touring routes for you. This is an easy to fold out tear-resistant map that has been gloss laminated for protection. The Peak District is a remarkable place - from the north, the upturned horseshoe of high, gritstone moors and crags of the Dark Peak extend southwards to the east and west of the contrasting limestone plateau of the softer pastoral landscape of the White Peak itself incised by the valleys of the Derbyshire Dales. These differing landscapes offer some of the best off-road biking in Britain, from difficult, loose surfaced climbs and gnarly, rocky descents that test both nerve and technical skill, to ancient pack-horse trails, long grassy drovers' roads and converted railway tracks. The routes are graded: easy, moderate and more strenuous. Approximate times and mileage are included. The routes include: 1. Edale - Hayfield Circuit. 2. Hope - Jaggers Clough Circuit. 3. Castleton - Rushup Edge. 4. Ladybower South Circuit. 5. Strines & Ughill Moors Circuit. 6. Stanage Circuit. 7. Eyam - Stoney Middleton - Coombs Lane - Tideswell Lane Circuit. 8. Bakewell Circuit. 9. Parsley Hay - Middleton - Long Dale - Pikehall Circuit. 10. Winster Circuit. |
