Event Description


This months ERFD will be a return to Swaledale to ride Gunnerside Gill (pic above). I've chosen the route as it is mainly on fairly stony trails and so should be as mud free as possible at the moment. Also, it takes in a descent down the face of Friarfold Hush (pic below), which I'm really looking forward to!


We'll meet here at Surrender Bridge which is easy to find as it is on the road between Langthwaite & Low Row and is at the junction of the only connecting road (to Healaugh). Pic is below so you can recognise it when you get there. Meet at 10 for a 10.30 start as usual.


Bring some money as there is a pub at the halfway point in Gunnerside.

Sorry guys, I'm ducking out. I've gotta work in the afternoon so I'm just doing a few hours local riding. Have fun!

@ BlueHelmet - Sorry to hear that Andy, hopefully see you on the next one.

@ Northern Exposure - I've added it to bikehike here, or there is a link to the .mmo file a few posts down.

@ Staffychance - it's this weekend bud, Mark & I did a recce of part of the ride this weekend (pic's here) just to check out a bit I'd not ridden before and make sure it wasn't going to be a bog fest (it wasn't and the route is great!!)

There was still a fair bit of snow when we rode it on Sunday, but this should clear this week - I'm off on Friday so may well take the family for a walk over that way then, just to double check it has cleared enough.

Looks like I won't be able to make it: I'm at the tail end of another bout of man flu and still get out of breath coming down stairs never mind up so 17 miles on a bike might be pushing it a little bit too much. Looks a good route though so may have to organise another of my ERFD replays sometime...
