District 16 - Lakes Bikepacking Odyssey

Post by Hyppy »

If I weren't using my hols for HT500 this year, I'd likely have stayed closer to home and given this a go in July.
District 16 is an unsupported bike packing odyssey, with a fixed route of 620km with 18800m of ascent and is definitely not a GRAVEL event!

The routes takes you around or past the sixteen main lakes, meres or waters in the Lake District, hence the name District 16. Starting and finishing from The Royal Barn home of Kirkby Lonsdale brewery and coffee roasters in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale.
