    Tips

    Climbing out of Swaledale to Askrigg, this is one of the tougest local climbs with stunning views for the moments when not chewing the handlebars. A series of ramps climb away from the river each with a little respite. There's a significant & welcome downhill, before hostilities are resumed with a bang! A drag leads to a nasty short ramp. 20% near the top. Vicious. Defeat this & there's some easy climbing and great views. The road turns upwards again, sweeping steeply towards the top, briefly hitting 20% again. If you can look behind/left the view is again stunning. A couple more ramps won't trouble you if you have got this far as you top out at 545m.

    The descent to Askrigg needs a little care. When you get to the level of the trees, the road narrows and there is a steep right hand corner with poor visibility. Watch out for gravel in the corners immediately following.

    Good, wasn't it?
