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

Fantastic loop from Hawes to Muker then Cross tops to Askridge then steady back to Hawes . The climbs are tough but an awesome ride

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.

Epic climb with brutal finish before plateauing and taking in the long descent. Headwind was relentless and a battle to stay on the bike at the top. No mean feat getting up there any day. 👍

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.

Great views, make it worth the pain to get there.

long climb less traffic than buttertubs but its 25% to start the climb

Nothing to fret about and the ride from Hawes is steady. Great views all the way up and down. Not as challenging as Fleet Moss or Tan Hill.

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.

Fleet Moss is a long exposed climb between Buckden and Hawes. At it’s peak it climbs to just over 600 metres in altitude, with a maximum gradient of 20% (from Hawes). Unfortunately it was dark and there was torrential rain once I got tot he top, so I didn't hang around to take in the view.

A nice stretch of quality tarmac with great views. Can get busy on summer Sundays, when bikers come out to 'push the envelope'... At other times it can feel quite isolated. As CDN has said, it is quite exposed to the ever-present strong wind & is worth taking that into account when route planning.

Famous climb! Tougher from the north with a real sting in the tail, usually into a heavy wind. Great descending in either direction. A bit of caution required at the Swaledale end as there are a couple of significant corners. Keep looking well ahead & all will be good!

The initial kick up at 17% is merely a loosener for what lies the other side of a flatter road that picks its way through farm buildings before revealing a featureless landscape scarred by a single strip of tarmac

Whichever way you've got here, well done. A tough climb from all 3 directions. Now you can enjoy the trip down!

Grinding out of Gayle, the road rolls south-westwards, Passing a few farms, you may catch a glimpse of the challenge ahead. The road reaches skyward. It doesn't seem that far, but you're not going fast... Save some oomph for the last two ramps, you'll need it. Conquer these & easier climbing leads to the summit with views of Semer Water, Bainbridge & Askrigg (in the far distance).

The steepest bit is the hairpin at the bottom. Take that on the right if there's nothing coming down. After that it's just a slog, followed by an easier stretch to lull you into a false sense of security before the last kick to the top. The descent down Coverdale on the other side is a delight, interrupted by the occasional fiendish kicker (yes, I'm looking at you, the one after you cross the river near Coverhead Farm)

Probably the easiest of the well known local climbs. Gentle out of Buckden, steepening a little at Cray. After rain, a great vista of waterfalls here. The road does ramp up a bit towards the top, but briefly only. The descent is quite technical and all the more enjoyable for it. A bit of a warning. Sometimes sheep are driven up the hill from Bishopdale....

Cracking from both sides. From Gayle there’s a little ramp to welcome you. Then it’s easy going for a while before steadily winding up. That you can see what’s in store is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it’s not too far away. On the other hand, you are going so slowly that it’s still a while before you crest the crux! From Wharfdale, things kick off at the tiny village of Oughtershaw. Successive ramps with little respite. Just before the top there is a short 20% section. Light the match & you should clear it before your fingers get burned. Descent to Hawes is rapid. It’s not technical, so let it rip! Descent into Wharfdale is more complex but probably more rewarding. A sharp left/right can take you by surprise about 800m from the top. Keep watching ahead. Enjoy!

Also known as the ‘Cote de Buttertubs’ if you were watching the 2014 Tour. Don’t let its cutesy name fool you – this 4.5km ascent touches 17% in parts
