A clockwise circuit circling northern England, with the ascent to the summit of Great Dun Fell, Britain's highest paved road at 847m the 'highlight' of the ride!
The early part of this randonnee climbs through the Trough of Bowland before descending into the Lune Valley, following pleasant country lanes and B-roads. An incursion into Cumbria introduces riders to the mighty Great Dun Fell; the highest paved road accessible by bicycle in the UK!
The return leg includes a visit to the Tan Hill Inn - Britain's highest pub and the climbs of Buttertubs Pass and Newby Head!
Overall, a wonderful day's cycling with beautiful scenery, covering some wild and exposed moorland (roads)
