    Tips

    Road cycling

    Whether you're coming over Park Rash or turning round to avoid going down it, your legs already aren't speaking to you. They'll get over it. The descent of Coverdale is a delight, even if the Department of Verschlimmbesserung recently chip'n'sealed what was briefly perfect tarmac. And you do have to remember that Yorkshire roads were routed by misanthropes, so although you're trending downwards, there are several kickers to get your legs sulking again.

    Some of the descents from the upper valley are life-in-your-hands stuff trusting there won’t be a car or stone wall around the next blind bend or crest. Also, the descents are mixed with some sharp ascents!

    Great sweeping views and a fast winding road which requires minimal pedalling, some good pubs if you've timed it right
