This loop is closely based on the Peak 200 (a 225km bikepacking route that’s raced as an ITT, created by local rider Ian Fitz) but designed to be slightly easier, to make it more achievable over a long weekend. There are still some technical trails along the way so a mountain bike is recommended, preferably with at least front suspension, or if you have a fully rigid bikepacking bike, plus tyres.
WHERE: Hathersage makes a great starting point, but there are a number of other options en route, including Glossop, Edale, and Hope, if you’re using public transport.
