Tips

Mountain biking

Absolute lung busting leg ruiner of a climb. Starts on draggy tarmac of fairly intense gradient and then switches to fire road style surface.

The middle section is brutally steep and really knocks the stuffing out of you but things ease off for the final stretch and the view back over the Hope Valley is a well-earned reward.

Great traffic-free route up the ridge above Brough and Bradwell. The route starts on tarmac which crumbles away to gravel. There are some quite steep pitches at the beginning and middle and then once on the ridge it's a great smooth ride along the top. You can then continue to your left around towards Shatton (gravel) or drop in to the pretty hamlet of Abney (tarmac). Suitable for gravel or mountain bikes.

Mountain biking

Coming southwards this is one of the most brutal climbs around. Unless you have some chunky tyres you’ll be struggling for traction up a horrendously steep and surprisingly long climb that only gets worse the further you go. Awesome views from the top and you’re rewarded with smoothish tarmac.
