If you already have Hardknott and Wrynose in your legs, you can fully elaborate here once more. The climb takes you in full nature to a beautiful mountain lake. Along the way, it remains mostly friendly except for a 25％ stretch. Last climb of the Fred Whitton challenge.... read more

Great climb if you don’t fancy (ie, old legs just can’t handle;-) Hardknott or Wrynose. Sign post says 25％ but I suspect that’s warning for motorists for the descent down the other side. Road in great condition, even when wet.

Als je al Hardknott en Wrynose in de benen hebt, kan je je hier nogmaals volledig uitwerkingen. De klim brengt je in volle natuur naar een mooi bergmeer. Onderweg blijft hij grotendeels vriendelijk op een stuk van 25％ na. Laatste klim van de Fred Whitton challenge.
