South Pennines’ Walk and Ride Festival 2017

Date published: 14 July 2017


The South Pennines is the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors, from the unspoilt beauty of the moorlands to the fascinating heritage of the industrial revolution, there’s so much choice, for families, cyclists, horse riders and walkers.

Adele Adams, festival co-ordinator. said: “Sometimes it’s difficult to know where to begin.

“That’s why the South Pennines’ Walk and Ride Festival is the best place to start. With over 130 events taking place between Saturday, 9 September and Sunday, 24 September, you will find an event for you; in fact you may find many.

“Cyclists can learn new skills on the Get Dirty MTB half-day course designed to build confidence for those new to off road biking, or they can learn how to lead or supervise cycle rides during a full day of theory and practical training.

"For those cyclists wishing to just cycle there’s so many different rides to choose from including the challenging 47-mile Mary Towneley Loop Endurance ride.”

Walkers also have an array of events from which to choose, from gently health walks to strenuous hikes.
