This ride took us from Home to Peel Tower then on to Jubilee Tower in Darwen. It took us approx 5hrs. The weather was resaonable for this time of year with a few patches of sun between the clouds. We started at the railway track in Accrington then on to Peel Tower. From here we went around the back of Holcome Moor and through the firing range. We were going to follow the West Pennine Bridalway round to Darwen but we had to follow Roman Road instead to save time. After picking up the bridalway again near Buryfold we climbed up to Jubilee Tower. After dropping down towards Darwen through Sunnyhurst Wood we followed the road to Ewood then took the canal back to Accrington. It was pretty dark when we got back but a very good ride.
