I only ever get that far in the height of Summer, though it is quite a distance to and from Leeds. I’ve also only ever descended it once (a similar ride where I got right to the cattle grid at the pass into Coverdale) – and frankly found the descent completely terrifying. I am a slightly cautious descender even on long straight ‘uns like Fleet Moss into Hawes but the sheer gradient and the gravel on the main corner of the Park Rash descent gave me the feeling I was falling over the handlebars ….

I know exactly what you mean about Mothers knowing of their son’s exploits!

On the way out, I went out on the B road from Otley to the top of Greenhow – it was quite a good road for cycling and then across to Grassington past stump cross caverns.

You’r so right about the back road to ilkley it gets more unrideable every year, the potholes are really begining to take their toll , plus the standing water from the fields and the mulsh from the vegatation.
Has inspired me to take a trip up park rash on my winter hack just to see how different it is from my summer best .

That’s one heck of a climb. Enjoyed reading the write up of your ride, and the images …. then the Cow ‘n Calf “to finish off” – respect, mate.

I’d have gone through Burley!!
