Leave the traffic behind at Fimber and head up Burdale Lane towards Thixendale. The hills are steep to each side of you but the road is very well tarmacked and easy going. Following the contours through the valleys is almost like being on a train track as it curves and meanders through the flattest route it can find. Amazing that this is the result of glacial melt water during the last ice age.
