クレイヴンの峠・トップ8

ひどい。道の反対側を通り、ドライバーに許しを請う（それはうまくいかないだろう）。下りは注意してください。道にはたくさんの砂利があります

交通量が少なく（ほとんど）素晴らしいサイクリング。牛が数頭いるかも

Gears 34 x 34 . Keep to outside of bend. Pace yourself

Done this twice now but from Hawes to Ingleton, Found it a bit of a slog as it it was into a strong headwind both times but some big views and wild landscape. With the wind going with you on a sunny day I imagine it's not too bad! but watch out for the motorbikes they fly past from out of nowhere.

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.

The preposterously beautiful and wild Sulber Gate. Well, the 'Gate' is quite literally a gate on the moorland here, known as Sulber, at the top of Sulber Nick. The said Sulber Nick opens out to a ridge running along Moughton Scar. At the north-eastern end of Moughton, you will see Thieves Moss. A beautiful, open-space place. No place I'd rather be.

It's in the book so must be done right!? A brute from the off, and can see it coming for far too long! Brutal switchbacks and then eases off to a soft 13% for a while and just when you think it's all over, it kicks again!

As a novice to these sort of hills I was in my 34x30 from the bottom and still had to stop repeatedly to allow the lactic to clear my legs before continuing. Steep, and stays steep.
