I know this one was done a while back.
Am doing this ride next weekend, starting and finishing at Hebdon Bridge. Is there anywhere good to find a decent bivvy spot about half way?
Also if anyone has a gpx of the route that would be excellent.
Thanks in advance,

Re: Bivvy spots on Mary Townley Loop.
Any specific reason to start from Hebden?
Half way around from there would leave you around Rawtenstall/Bacup which wont make the best place to stop overnight.
You're never that far away from populaton so its probably worth playing it by ear.
Its a while since i've ridden it, but you should find some good spots around Watergrove Res, (Littleborough/Whitworth), Past Holme Chappel (stop at the pub then just keep going up)

Cheers for the reply Chew,
Starting at Hebdon as it's easy to get to by train from Leeds.
Will have a look at the map, and thanks for the gpx link.
