I cycled up from braithwaite last week when it was closed, asked the guys if I could come through the works bits but I would think that was a one off as they looked like they were prepping machinery to start work.
The bridleway from Thronthwaite will get you up there ok and it`s a great fast ride back down there too 😀

I’d be riding up the bridleway, knocking off the North and South loop, dropping down the start of the blue route then back down the bridleway, then along to the Middle Ruddings for a pint.

Just ride up Gav you lazy bugger!!

Barriers had been moved yesterday and you could squeeze thru
