[Talk-GB] Trans Pennine Trail

[Michael Collinson]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for this posting.  I just personally discovered the TPT in 
September and hope to ride some more at Christmas as it passes not too 
far from the Centre of the Known and Unknown Universe [1].

I am not familiar with NCN 62 but agree with you that we treat the TPT 
and NCN routes as entirely different, ie NCN 62 should have one relation 
and TPT another (new one).  The TPT website suggests it is a mix of 
walking, horse and foot right of ways and indeed I found a point  [2] 
near Hemingbourgh on the River Ouse where the NCN 65 and 
TPT-for-cyclists heads north to the village but TPT for hikers is 
signposted as continuing west along the river bank.
