Whinlatter Pass Climb from Braithwaite

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

One of the best climbs in the area. A steady climb on forest lined roads up to the Whinlatter vistor centre. A good challenge but not as murderous as Honister …

Caldbeck Common Road at the Base of Carrock Fell

Highlight • Trail

A lovely quiet road along the base of Carrock Fell and across Caldbeck Common. Watch out for the odd pothole and the soft verges as well as the wild fell ponies. The crossing from Mosedale to Hesket Newmarket is fanatstic.
