The Pennine Skyline is a set of three events from three venues that give you a chance to explore tracks and lanes on the moors, valleys and woods found within three sections of the Pennines, the chain of hills and high mountain ridges that run along the backbone of England.

Entry to the Pennine Skyline is to all three events with a maximum of 100 riders. There are one day entry’s to the Calder, Ribblehead and Howgills Skyline events from January 2026.

There is no mass start and no timings. Each gpx is emailed to you a week before the start date and you explore the routes at your own pace. Tea, coffee and home made cake at the start and embroidered cloth badge plus bike stickers at the end.

INspirational bit

 

“I have fled my country and gone to the heather.”

Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights (1847)

 

“And the moors were always there and never without their promise.”

J.B.Priestley

Bright Days (1944)

 

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”

Nan Shepherd

The Living Mountain (1977)
