After the first 200m, you get a respite & a decision to make. Carry straight on up Moor Road to Oxnop Scar & Muker. This is a tough climb.

Alternatively take the right up a ramp. The top of this little section has a spectacular view of Wensleydale. If you want a photo, now is a good time, since the toughest section is just around the corner...

Shortly after there is a fork in the road. Go left. It is steeper than anything so far and drags on a bit. Once conquered, there are a series of tough ramps, but increasingly less severe. Eventually the top arrives.

About 200m after the summit, the road bears left. The view here is incredible, Swaledale, rocks, sheep & the thread of tarmac disappearing sinuously.

The descent is technical and gets twisty & narrow near the bottom. Take care! Oncoming vehicles are rare, but will occupy 90% of the road if they appear.

Yes, I live here.

It’s steep, it’s long but the views make it all worthwhile. Make sure you have enough water and enjoy!
