"god's own country" clearly has a fearsome pr team (clear from endless tv progs) but scanning the cover, can i ask if there are any rides in lancashire?

Of the 30 there are 15 in Yorkshire and 3 in Lancashire.

Thanks.

Cumbria and the Lakes - 7 rides
The North East - 5 rides
North Yorks Moors & Yorkshire Wolds - 5 rides
Yorkshire Dales - 5 rides
West Yorks & South Yorks - 5 rides
Lancashire - 3 rides

I was going to complain I couldn't get my picture of the overview map to upload, but I note that on Jack Thurston's website he's put up the initial section of the book in a book display widget, which will give you the overview map and a list of all the rides: https://lostlanes.co.uk/product/lost-lanes-north/

Thanks jacob.
On the plus side, my bit of lancs probably best located for accessing lots of those, better than lots of yorks

Just goes to prove the point, the best thing in Lancashire are the roads to Yorkshire ! That's what my mum always told me anyway Happy Lancashire Day BTW.

Thanks didn't realise it was that day, think those regional days are a bit daft/maybe just an excuse for execs at county hall to have a free pissup at our expense.
My home town is actually right on the border. Until the 70s reorganisation the border was at the town's river but then they gave us an extra sliver of buffer zone. So close to yorks that some of the words i knew as a kid are probably more associated with yorkshire dialect.

I looked out of the window yesterday, it was pouring down, it looked like Lancashire Day to me.

I'm glad I put off pouring the concrete slab for my granddaughter's summer house until today

Yes it does rain a hell of a lot.
Can"t help wondering if the book gives that a passing mention, maybe on initial advice on clothing.

Awe c'mon it's barely rained at all for three months with the driest April and May on record,and last winter was hardly a wet one.

You',ll pay for it.
Once as an adult i spent three months there - i swear there was barely a dry day. My mum remembers the same.
Pretty sure the rainfall figures will back up this idea of wetness.
And my dad used to say, a local saying i think.
If you can't see Pendle, it's raining.
If you can see Pendle, it's about to rain.

There are by far,less days raining than dry and though the summers are Spanish it's not as bad as you make it out to be,not by a long shot.

EDIT,if you want somewhere wet go to Cumbria
