Embarking on the Tan Hill climb from Whaw, deep in Arkengarthdale, you’ll immediately tackle steep ramps as the narrow road surges upwards from the valley floor, likely hitting gradients of 12-15%+ in places early on. Experience the stunning views unfolding back down the dale. However, the defining characteristic soon becomes the immense exposure as you break out onto the vast, high moorland. Feel the wind, often a fierce challenge here, potentially impacting your effort more than the steady gradient across the open tops. Embrace the feeling of remoteness and the wild beauty as you head towards the lonely, iconic landmark of Tan Hill Inn, Britain's highest pub.
