    Are you doing the coast to coast following Trans Pennine Trail route, or on road?

    Similarly, Barnsley to Leeds, is this road route or track?

    Done em both on TPT and trail, except I've done Leeds to Barnsley.

    TPT for both Wizz. A minimal amount of road, and it is minimal.

    He's the route I took from Leeds to Worsbrough a couple of year back. 31.3 mile.

    Extract the .gpx and load in at http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/

    Took us a while as we stopped at about 5 pubs en-route. ;)

    There's a decent 30 miller from Stairfoot to Sprotborough all on TPT.

    Half way and turning point is the Boat Inn, after a couple of beer ;)

    Did that in 2hrs 20mins last summer.

    I was going to do it a few times but due to injury and other stuff I didn't, but I've got all the maps and distances's if you want a lend and you can get your bike on the train for free so you can get the train from tarn to leeds/donneh/penistone and come back over the trail, ( dogshite dodging of course)
