Cheers

Take a map! There's lots of tracks on the moors and you can't be sure of where they all go 🙂 Stu at Dales Bike Centre sells route maps

Ive got a map of the route if you'd like I can email over?

It's hilly and pretty exposed up there so go prepared, enjoy 🙂

Well guys this was awesome. Thankyou so much for the maps and i used a gpx with free memory map. without which we would have been very very lost.

Really good riding. It broke me in the end and 25 miles was more than enough and ended up taking the road back to reeth. Happy times.

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

The enduro route up there was 25 miles and my legs were dead after it, even after walking up some of the climbs! Will have to get out on one of those routes soon.
