OK, thanks for all the help from Kwakgirl, Shadowlady and particularly Slowgoose for a very detailed route across the Trough.

So.......


Suggested meeting point:

Tickled Trout Services
Preston New Road
Samlesbury
Preston
Lancashire
PR5 0UJ

Accessible from A59 and M6.

Times to be confirmed suggest 10.00 -10.30

Take the A59 towards Clitheroe.

Then a choice of routes depending on time and weather conditions.

EITHER:

A682 Long Preston

A65 Kirby Lonsdale

Then A686 up to Hartside to meet the Northern Northerners

OR:

"From Tickled Trout head E on A59, turn L at lights onto B6245 to Ribchester, then Longridge but turn R before town onto B6243 at Corporation Arms. Follow this into Clitheroe, past train station then L onto B6478 towards Waddington. Continue to Newton-in-Bowland, bear L through village to Dunsop Bridge then R after DB. This road takes you up a valley onto the moor ( v pretty) past jubilee tower. When you start to drop off the moor there is a steepish descent to a crossroad at Dolphinholme turn R ( think its signposted to Queernmoor) keep on to a nasty T junction, Turn R to Caton. T at Caton turn R onto A683 to Hornby then Melling, watch out for L sharp bend immediately after bridge over river following a nice straight. Turn L at T junction and Devils Bridge is about 500 yds on the left."

As suggested by Slowgoose

With a possible meet up at Hartside, time permitting.

Let me know what you think, open to suggestions

real Northerners *cough cough*

If you guys sort a run up to Hartside let me know and I'll sort a meet up from our side down maybe about 1ish or something as it's a good 2.5 hours south from Edinburgh alone on biking roads

Any ideas of dates ?

Date is OK with me so far and I'd come down with a Scottish contingent, or even make a weekend of it.
