Talk to me about the track that goes from the road where potato alley ends and goes up to the top of the hagg farm/nabs wood cross past rowlee farm. I can see from google street view that it starts tarmac, is the path made up all the way up? or does it degrade to grass/rocks. (more likely to be sloppy mud at this time of year) Is the elevation cycleable? I will be descending to derwent res and weighing up this incline over the steep hagg farm up, which I recall is mostly a push/hard cycle. and which would be quicker, probably not much in it.
told you it was a silly question, thanks
It's tarmac most of the way up then becomes more of a track. All perfectly ridable and a much more sensible climb than the s-bends descent you've been pushing up 😉
starts as tarmac, turns into a gravel track. all ride able although gets steep for about 100m. i would say deff quicker than going up past hag farm as you can ride all of it fairly easily which you can't with the hagg farm climb
If its the one im thinking of it passes the farm on tarmac and then goes into a well looked after track which brings you out at the cross roads at the top of the hagg farm lockerbrook trails. Its in very good condition. Not technical and gives the option of three descents from the top
Its the way normal cars get to Lockerbrook isn't it?
Not uncommon to see normal family cars up there at the accommodation.
Great, thanks folks. Heading up there on Monday, forecast says heavy snow for thursday so hopefuly it will have cleared off by Monday.
Hardest bit is crossing the road at the bottom 😯 It's a steady climb, only steep(ish) for a couple of hundred metres, just sit and spin it out.
