    Tips

    Incredibly steep (almost all over 20%) but so rewarding when you get to the top. The average grade is 11% for this 1.6 mile (2.5 km) climb. On the more gentle slopes at the bottom you'll be admiring Langdale Pikes before the road veers to the left. Definitely take a pause and look back at where you just came from – the view is beautiful, one of the best in the Lakes.

    At the top of the pass you'll spot the little Three Shires Stone that marks this meeting points of the former county borders (Cumberland, Lancashire and Wastmorland).

    FYI: As tempting as it is to pronounce Wrynose as 'rhinoes', locals usually say something more like 'Wreynuss'.

      Savage, no two ways about it. Buy more gears. Also the view coming down the other side is out of this world!!

        Three kilometres long with a height gain of almost 300m and an average gradient of about 10 per cent, rising to over 20 per cent for most of the second half.
