Wild Things Lost Lanes – North

Join Jack Thurston as he guides you along 36 Glorious bike rides in Yorkshire, Lake District, Northumberland, Pennines and northern England. Lost Lanes (North) is essential for those who love to explore by bike.

What better way to discover and enjoy a new place than under your own power. Whether you’re on a bicycle, tandem, handcycle or tricycle, Lost Lanes takes you on a journey through the stunning countryside of Northern England. You’ll find yourself on less-ridden roads, forgotten byways and peaceful country lanes as you meander through Yorkshire, Lake District, Pennines and Northumberland.

All the routes are clearly graded from easy to challenging, letting you choose how much effort you want to take in. And if you enjoy the pub stops as much as the biking, Lost lanes includes listings of the best pubs and tea stops, wild swim spots, viewpoints and even accommodations to make it a multi-day tour. 

The book is accompanied by a dedicated website where you’ll find downloadable GPX files, turn-by-turn route instructions and detailed maps. And all rides are accessible by train, so the car can be left at home.
