Fleet Moss from Hawes is a remote and challenging Dales climb, averaging 8% with punishing ramps up to 20%. The narrow, weather-beaten road rises sharply through open moorland, with rough tarmac and exposed sections that make wind a serious factor. The steepest gradients hit early, so shift into your lowest gear and settle into a controlled, steady rhythm. Reaching the summit feels wild and raw—true Yorkshire climbing at its toughest.
