Notes
A nice route taking in Norwood Edge with a jaunt around Brimham rocks before tackling the infamous Peat Lane Climb!
"Less than a mile from Pateley Bridge this climb feels surprisingly remote. A brutal climb used locally for hill climb training (some will do reps believe it or not) or as a traffic free alternative to Greenhow Hill as it has negligible traffic, and as such it can be included in a number of popular longer routes.
As with all our Killer Climbs there is no gentle warm up to Peat Lane, so you will want to arrive at the foot of this climb with a warm set of legs."
