wesome scenery that changes at every turn; challenging climbs and glorious descents; fresh, smooth, Tour-quality tarmac lanes with few cars… it doesn’t get better than the Yorkshire Dales. Ingleton, stunningly set amid limestone mountains, valleys, rivers and caves, offers easy train access (Bentham), bunkhouses aplenty and cosy pubs and cafes all around.

ROUTE ONE
Dales daredevil 61 miles
Fleet Moss, fab valleys
Big, dramatic climbs, huge descents and superb views all day long. Up (up, up) past Ribblehead Viaduct and down to Hawes (coffee), then Fleet Moss’s brutal ascent. Down wonderful Wharfedale, up lovely Littondale for a well-deserved break (pub) and then cross-country back.
