View of the Northern Fells, Lake District National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

An absolute dream stretch of road that's above the treeline with expansive views. The road surface suffers during the winter months so not always advisable unless you're on a more robust bike. Gorgeous during spring and autumn with wild flowers.

Whitewater Dash Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great climb on a mostly good surface. Apart from one section that hits 20%, gradients are manageable. Awesome views all the way up and then more at the top before dropping down to Skiddaw House.

Highlight • Climb

Lovely techy decent coming off from the top, tight switchbacks all on the scree and boulders.

Just watch out for other users on the path — best saved for quieter times.

Awesome!
