Cycling in the United Kingdom/National Routes

• dedicated cycle tracks and lanes
• contours and hill colouring
• bicycle parking
• bike shops, toilets, drinking fountains, even pubs!
• proposed bike routes (or numbering protocols), contrasted with the Lonvia map, below, which does not show proposed routes, but actual routes only

Surveyed / amended both routes through / round Letchworth Garden City --Gregoryw 17:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Cycled from Norman Cross, through Peterborough to Crowland. --Gregoryw 12:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Cycled Peterborough to Sandy. --Gregoryw 11:22, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Cycled Letchworth Garden City to Henlow. --Gregoryw 15:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I saw the start of another portion of this route in Beelsby, near Grimsby, when I cycled my Three Corners ride last summer. I've mapped a small stub where it connects with NCR1. --Gregoryw 21:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Mapped from Tower Bridge to Barking Creek. This section is not waymarked at all, except the last section, although it is shown as completed on the Sustrans GIS. Ollie 23:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Existing relation updated. Does NR13 really use the A13 trunk road? Ddixon 19:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Now linked to NCR1 on its northern end. --Gregoryw 07:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Completed one-way portion in Rochester. --Gregoryw 13:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Extended to Tenterden. Gregoryw 02:11, 19 June 2007 (BST)

Appears to have been completed up to Royal Tunbridge Wells by somebody else. Gregoryw 03 Aug 2007

Re: Ashford to Tunbridge Wells, I got the route from paths and routes in NPE. I was planning cycle it to get better accuracy but I never got around to it (for various reasons.) --TimSC 17:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I obtained tracks for the Ashford to Tenderden section in the summer, so the only section without tracks is from Tenderden to Royal Tunbridge Wells. I plan to cycle the route in the next few months to get the tracks. --Gregoryw 12:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Cycled Brighton to Folkestone on 25-Aug-2007. GPS battery then ran out, so couldn't complete to Dover :-( Gregoryw 27-Aug-2007.

Cycled Folkestone to Dover on 13-Oct-2007. Gregoryw 15-Oct-2007.

Cycled Brighton to Worthing on 20-Oct-2007. Gregoryw 22-Oct-2007.

I've mapped the remaining parts today, except for within Crawley where signage is totally absent, and within Brighton, where the route is very difficult to follow (like all the looney cycle lanes in Brighton!) Daveemtb 20:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC) (UTC)

Crawley (three bridges) to Eridge section completed 80n 09:42, 7 April 2007 (BST)

Cycled route from Greenwich through to Eastbourne last Saturday. I had a little dropout near Mayfield and haven't yet pursued the route Eastward in Eastbourne. Almost finishing mapping and tagging the data I've collected. Gregoryw 16:29, 13 June 2007 (BST)

Route relation appears to have been deleted? Dobbyj 22:50, 8 September 2010 (BST)

Restored the route relation. --Gregoryw 08:00, 9 September 2010 (BST)

Extended slightly between Epsom and Western edge of Dorking due to new signing on the ground. --Gregoryw 11:14, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Have also inserted proposed route through the borough of Reigate and Banstead (ie the section through Banstead) BlueSpecs 10:59, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Tagged existing section to near Horsham. Gregoryw 18:38, 27 May 2007 (BST) Unable to cycle a small section due to a closed bridge (Therefore I couldn't upload tracks for this part.). The data for this section was already mapped, though. Cycled to Northern extent. Gregoryw 22-Oct-2007

Isle of Wight Section now complete except for short sections within Newport - done from combination of aerial views and experience. --CunningPlan 22:18, 1 April 2008 (BST)

The branch to Alton is partially done, but unfortunately the signs are unclear on the last section. The Ox Drove Way optional element is also missing --Ndm 11:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Relation created. Ddixon 20:06, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Cycled newly-signed section from Alresford to Easton Lane (just outside Winchester), updated map accordingly. Monxton 11:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Cycled from Otterbourne to Southampton, updated map. Still incomplete/unsigned in Swaythling from Wide Lane to Riverside Park. Monxton 02:12, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Cycled the IoW section, now signed through Newport. Monxton 11:45, 9 May 2012 (BST)

Relation created. Ddixon 20:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Cycled from Mottisfont to Sutton Veney end of June 2010, mapped additional signed sections. Still incomplete around Wilton, also at Petersfinger (E. of Salisbury). --Monxton 11:31, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Cycled E. of Longleat. Short section through and E. of Warminster still needs mapping. --Corshamjim 10:36, 20 October 2010 (BST)

Cycled Cattistock to East Coker. --Gregoryw 14:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC) Converted Clevedon to Cheddar to Relation UniEagle 21:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC) Added remainer of current route (through Sherbourne) to the existing relation. UniEagle 13:16, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Malvern --srbrook 24 April 2010

Glynneath-Clyne and proposed route to Tonna --Richengland August 2010

Much of Carmarthen-Llanelli done (missing section from Llanarthney to Tumble). Very little mapped east of Llanelli.

I'm planning to complete the mapping of NCR47 at Easter time, instead of using NCR4 for this portion as I previously announced (Now that Richard has essentially completed NCR4. --Gregoryw 11:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Mapped Aberdulais to Briton Ferry --Farrpau 14:14, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Cycled the whole route over Easter. The only portions that I wasn't able to cover were:

• Ynysddu to Cwmfelinfach. Path closed due to a landslide. Mapped the signed diversion and marked route relation members with role diversion.
• Around Newport University area of construction. Path closed here. I've mapped the logical diversion and marked as such in the route relation, though this isn't a signed diversion on the ground.

--Gregoryw 10:01, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Staffordshire: Route not yet open Lichfield-Stafford. Mapped from central Stafford through Stone to Trentham. Much is mapped in Stoke (braided route) but needs attention - not all sections joined up.

Cheshire: Mostly complete; Frodsham/Helsby needs some attention.

North Wales: Generally complete, but with a gap at Flint.

Relation is incomplete - sections tagged ncn_ref could usefully be added to it.

Further on, complete Bedford-Sandy, Huntingdon-Newmarket, Bury-Felixstowe.

Working on the Ipswich through to Felixstowe (Harwich Ferry) section 07 May 2007 PeterIto

Mapped the part that comes down west of Wivenhoe near Colchester and then up through Wivenhoe. Intend to map it through the rest of Colchester soon. Mart 20:24, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Stourport-Kidderminster, Fradley-Burton, Burton-Derby done --Richard 10:07, 3 August 2007 (BST)

Cycled and mapped Oxford-Chesham --Richard 21:43, 6 October 2007 (BST)

Proposed route Witney-Oxford marked. Route west of Witney will follow current RR47, to be re-signed 2012. --Richard 12:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Section between Market Harborough and Northampton marked from aerial photography along the disused railway (the Brampton Valley Way). This has two rather long (unlit) tunnels, and there is also a signed route avoiding these that needs doing.

Route through Market Harborough marked. Gap between Harborough and Foxton, where it goes along the Grand Union towpath.

Foxton-Leicester-Mountsorrel-Loughborough-Derby-Lenton (Nottingham) done. Short gaps in Blaby, Worthington and Derby city centre. -Richard Filled in Blaby Gap --Lanternerouge 11:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Short sections around Preston being ridden over the next couple of weeks. Longwayround 11:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC) 11:01, 3 Jan 2008 (UTC)

South from Kendal done for a short way. --Richard 17:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I’m working on completing Reddish-Manchester (the section following the Fallowfield Loop appears to have been done from NPE maps).—Sward 10:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Near Garstang to Conder Green --AntonyW 22:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Relation recovered, and extended to replace ncn_ref=6 ways. ddixon 22:03, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Surveyed and tagged from junction with NR1 at Hoddesdon through Ware and Hertford to the Cole Green Way TomH 17:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Filled in some missing gaps along Grand Union Canal. --Gregoryw 20:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Added spur to Heathrow Airport. Now all in route relation 21758. --Gregoryw 07:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

• Development off William Nadin Way, Swadlincote (route not open)
• Stamford area (some parts of route not open)

Added section between Lincoln and the village of Eagle (and slightly beyond). --Gregoryw 23:52, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Mapped complete route and removed proposed sections as route now complete. --Mattturner 13:23, 20 November 2011 (GMT)

Added first part west of NR6. -- SomeoneElse 00:44, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Added a section from Hull to Broomfleet, with the section through the villages rather than along the Humber bank. Chillly 12:12, 11 April 2008 (BST)

Added a section west of Howden to the river Derwent. Chillly 11:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Added a section from Humber bridge to N. Ferriby along the bank of the River Humber on a track. Used relation 9487. Chillly 14:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Joined up the route through Hull to the Hornsea Rail Trail. Yet to check the Hornsea end. Chillly 17:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Cycled Middlesborough to Thirsk(branches off to Thirsk?). There are some parts I couldn't say if I was still on NCN65 or not, and some questionable signs that perhaps led me astray. The route is called "The White Rose", but I forgot to change the relation name. -LastGrape/Gregory 00:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Completed the last part of the route in East Yorkshire. Chillly 17:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Added the missing section between Skelton to Alne, but that area is badly mapped so needs revisiting anyway. We're close to completing this route now. --Kaerast 10:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Filled in the gap near Osmotherley, which I cycled on my Three Corners trip last summer. --Gregoryw 21:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Assuming it finishes at the same place as the Trans Pennine Trail, then I have been able to map it in where it ends on Hornsea sea-front at a funky artwork pole at the end of Sands Lane and where it enters Sands Lane from the route of the old Hull & Hornsea railway line. I was able to trace it back using Bing imagery, (i.e. *not* ground-truthed), to the Rolston Road B1241 roundabout. However, that overlaps slightly with existing mapping along Trinity Road ... needs checking which is right. MikeCollinson 17:02, 19 September 2011 (BST)

'Braid' of NR65, appears to be fully mapped.

'Braid' of NR65, appears to be fully mapped.

Cycled a tiny amount in York. --Gregoryw 12:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Tagged the section from Hull Ferry terminal through the city (mostly off road cycle tracks) to Cottingham. Used relation 17883. Chillly 19:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Added a short section from Cottingham to Beverley to fill a short gap. Shared with NCN 1. Chillly 20:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorted out most of the sections around Bradford. Needs a little tidying up but any missing sections in this area are now the job of Sustrans to complete or signpost. --Kaerast 12:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Rochdale Canal towpath section (Sowerby Bridge-Manchester) complete. It's not 100% clear on the ground which sections are open, and which aren't, between Failsworth and Littleborough (pending Connect2 towpath works). --Richard 10:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Brighouse - Sowerby Bridge. --CompactDstrxion 16:51, 28 March 2012 (BST)

Access points for Spen Valley Greenway. --CompactDstrxion 19:11, 28 March 2012 (BST)

Numerous sections showing on map.

Proposed route fully shown.

Complete.

New number for proposed western braid Bellingham-Alwinton (via MoD estate and Coquetdale).

Section at Huddersfield showing on map which joins up to route 66.

Section near Skipton showing on map which also joins up to route 66. Needs lots more work.

Salterhebble - Halifax. --CompactDstrxion 17:47, 28 March 2012 (BST)

Scout Hill - Dewsbury. --CompactDstrxion 19:11, 28 March 2012 (BST)

Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath, Riddlesden-Keighley: exact start/end not clear.

Workington and a short way east done. --Richard

Haltwhistle-Once Brewed done (shared with route 68). --Richard 17:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Added section between Fenton and a little NE of Carlisle (B6264 / A689 junction). Shared with Cumbria Cycleway (RCR30) --Gregoryw 09:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Cycled Bowness to Newcastle this weekend and added a GPS trace. Have added relations to all sections from Bowness to Wylam, but have not added the (optional?) ncn tags. Followed signposting all the way which is complete from Bowness to Tynemouth, with only two or three ambiguous markings. The Carlisle passage is complete. Note that the trail is slightly different from the Bikely track that seems to be the one referenced most at the moment. Just the bit from West to Bowness seems to be missing and my GPS track matches the rest (aside from a bed for the night) IanMSpencer 18:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Glenluce to Stranraer is supposedly not completely constructed but is partly signed, I have split this into a separate relation: 8301675 8301675.

I've cycled and got tracks from West Edinburgh through to the centre of Glasgow. Mapped most of it, though it still needs to be made more accurate using local knowledge especially for where the route uses the main roads. Smsm1 01:57, 1 July 2007 (BST)

I've tagged the section from the Scottish Executive to the Medows in Edinburgh Smsm1 20:28, 8 July 2007 (BST)

Paisley-Greenock complete Sciuro

I've now added the full route from Dundee Road Bridge to Perth davidmam 26 March 2009
