Nice long climb from Hawes. Average 3% for 3.4 miles. Near the top you can view the Ribblehead Viaduct and there is usually an ice cream van to get refreshments. It's quite exposed so can get windy at times.

Beautiful road from the Ribblehead viaduct to Hawes. Popular with motorbikers too so watch out!

Long old slog if you do the full length of the pass. Some big views, bleak and exposed at the top but a great view of Ribble viaduct. The motorbikes can come out of nowhere at speed! Definitely something to be aware of.
