Initially an easy climb through a wild and quiet valley with very little traffic. Towards the end there is a very steep section, but it is short, and nothing compared to Hardknott Pass which I just passed. Logical sequence to Hardknott Pass.

Be sure to look around you in the valley between Hardknott and Wrynose, the area is desolate and unspoilt. A small river guides you towards the climb, which has a very steep section, especially at the end, up to 25％. The sequence Hardknott-Wrynose-Side Gates Road is a three-stage rocket of unprecedented magnitude

Kijk zeker eens rond je in de vallei tussen Hardknott en Wrynose, de omgeving is desolaat en ongerept. Een riviertje begeleid je richting klim, deze kent vooral op het einde nog een zeer steil stuk tot 25％. De opeenvolging Hardknott-Wrynose-Side Gates Road is een drietrapsraket van ongeziene grootte-orde
