Climbing on GRVL up past the Winterburn Reservoir - this section was decent but there's some tough climbing and rough surfaces to get there - also COWS!

Mastiles Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Ancient Road that goes from Kilnsey to Malham tarn. This starts off steady but really cranks up the gradient as you get closer to the summit. A good challenge for many cyclists.

Boss Moor Lane

Glorious road then track to an isolated farm - can link up with Moor Road (to/from Hetton) and Mastiles Lane for some fantastic gravel/non-technical MTB riding
