Tackling Yad Moss from Middleton-in-Teesdale is an endurance test, one of England's longest climbs (15km), defined more by its length and exposure than raw steepness. Expect a shallow average gradient of around 2%, demanding a steady rhythm as you climb from beautiful Teesdale onto the high fells. Be prepared for occasional steeper ramps hitting up to 14% briefly, but the main challenge is often the immense exposure to wind on the vast, remote moorland plateau. Experience the wild North Pennines scenery as you push towards the Yad Moss ski area summit on this epic, high-altitude crossing.
