Ride The Pennines - Day 1!

A solo adventure with the vision of cycling the length of The Pennines because there's just something quite cool about that as a concept...to me at least!! 

Today I headed off to Low Moor to get a train to Manchester Victoria, a quick spin to Manchester Piccadilly and then to Edale where The Pennines officially start. 

From there my route took me over the Snake Pass, into Glossop and then I climbed to the highest point on The Transpennine Trail which is near to Woodhead Pass. 

I dropped back into Huddersfield before making my way back to Northowram where I am staying at Mum and Dad's before Day 2 tomorrow. 

I've been lucky to see a bit of sunshine despite the strong winds - great day to be out starting an adventure. :-)
