    Tips

    Such a cool climb that was included in the Tour De France 2014, where it got christened the 'Cote du Cray'. The average grade is 8% and it maxes out at 15%. There's a gentle start out of Bucken before it ramps up then it eases off again in the final few hundred metres. Great views!

      Probably the easiest of the well known local climbs. Gentle out of Buckden, steepening a little at Cray. After rain, a great vista of waterfalls here. The road does ramp up a bit towards the top, but briefly only.

      The descent is quite technical and all the more enjoyable for it. A bit of a warning. Sometimes sheep are driven up the hill from Bishopdale....
