The Pennine Bridle Way - Mary Townley Loop is a 47 mile circular route which forms part of the purpose built long distance National Trail bridleway for horse riders (and their horses), mountain bikers, walkers and runners, this high level route encircles Todmorden, Bacup, The Rossendale Valley, Whitworth and passes close to Hebden Bridge. It crosses Heptonstall Morr, Black Moor, Worsthorn Moor and visits many of the valley bottoms.
On my travels i have run the route in sections and even managed the whole route a couple of times and it really is classic northern industrial landscape in all its glory. The route is well sign posted and the trails are mostly well maintained and easy to follow.
The plan is to run the whole loop, with a small diversion up to Studley Pike, by moon light and perhaps a head torch. It will be difficult to complete the whole route in darkness with perhaps the last hour or so at dawn.
There is a great web site which has plenty of good information about the route.
When - before winter sets in.
