The Daddy of UK mountains. 11/10 in Another 100 Greatest Climbs - "England's Ventoux". Careful on the lower slopes as it's easy to burn too much energy there. The last 2 miles of this climb to the highest paved surface in England is on beautiful closed roads. It's savagely steep in places and relentless. The view at the top will either be of nothing past your feet or of the whole world. A MUST for any road cyclist in the Cold Dark North

A serious undertaking for any cyclist even on a rare calm day. Well worth the effort and a beautiful place to be. The climb is brutal at times and the descent is exhilarating. An essential route for any keen cyclist. Put the miles in before taking it on.

Try starting from Alston, going up to Hartside to get your legs working, makes a nice 50 mile. no facilities after you leave Melmerby, so take all you need on this out and back ride
