Up there next weekend and I should have a couple of free hours to play out on my bike.
Anyone know any 10 mile ish routes?
Ta.
Dales bike center Grinton/Reeth sell route maps of the area for around a quid.
There are loads of routes.
If its Saturday morning you have free we will be riding from the the Dales Bike Centre at 10 should you wish to join us - 12 miler - about half a mile on tarmac 😀
edit - email in profile if you're interested
Yup, you definitely want to pop into [url= http://www.dalesbikecentre.co.uk ]Dales Bike Centre[/url] for local knowledge par excellence. Lush cake and coffee for afterwards too 😛
Will probably be out solo at about 5:00am (insomnia/dorm full of snoring blokes).
No riding round there, It's rubbish.
Will probably be out solo at about 5:00am
Try this then
Head out of Reeth towards Langthwaite for 2 miles then take the marked BW on the left - follow this double track climbing steadily to Foregill Gate. Turn left dropping to the ford (very slippy at the mo) and ride the road to Surrender Bridge - turn right on the track before the bridge - again climbing steadily - ignore all turnings until you reach a gate and Level House Bridge - take the right track, up of course, cross 2 streams and through a gate on up onto Great Pinseat - there now follows a lovely pedally double track descent - GO FAST - this drops you back to the road, turn left to recross the ford and back to Foregill Gate. Go through the gate and along the track for 30m then turn right onto singletrack along the side of Cringley Hill and drop down - at the post bear right but go straight across the double track onto another track which takes you round the side of the hill dropping steadily - cross the next double track and join a grassy descent following the wall - this does a 90deg right followed by a 120deg left - you have been warned! go through a couple of gates and join a gravel track - left at the bottom and left again and you're in Healaugh - a mile or so of tarmac and you will be back in Reeth.
Thumbs up for DeeJay's route - Angry Man is a cracking descent. You can add a little bit more offroad to that if you turn right when you hit the valley road at Healaugh, then head up to Scabba-Wath bridge (006983). Cross the Swale, then come back down on the BW to the south of the river that starts at 015984 (past Stubbins Farm, How Hill and then emerging back to the road at Swale Hall).
