- Thread starter Izzyekerslike
- Start date
Did the ride today 18 miles pretty hard going but lots of fun managed to use 90% of battery. Weather was kind and Katies honesty cafe is a god send.
Great ride, amazing scenery and plenty of everything. Try the Tour of Ingleborough next, start at Clapham and go anti-clockwise take your charger with and have a bite to eat and top up your battery at the Station Inn at at Ribble head. Just one point ...To improve the ride and providing your ok with boggy ground, at Ellerbeck Gill go straight ahead and across the stream. You will come across the most amazing Limestone pavement and go past the Norber irregulars then have an fantastic descent into Ingleton.

Simon, it's 24.7 miles but
Simon, it's 24.7 miles but the last 4 miles from Ingleton to Clapham is on a quiet road. But as with all the longer routes in the Dales with a lot of climbing it's worth taking your charger and topping up whilst having a break. You will get around 30% charge per hour and no cafe or pub has refused to let me charge...Where is Katie's honesty Cafe?
Hiya yeah have done a bit of riding around there starting at Clapham up through the tunnels then left over the tops coming down by thieves moss some great single track into Wharfe then looping back through austwick.
Katies cafe is Halton Gill i started the Penyghent tour at Helwith Bridge so about halfway round its a farm out building with Tea Coffee and cakes you make your own brew and leave your money in the honesty box fab place.
After there you have the horrendous climb up to Foxup moor but the downhill going into Horton is amazing.
Was just a bit shocked i used 90% of battery

Will upload some more photos
Stopped at the Station and charged battery for about 30 mins left Station in and headed under viaduct Battery was on 56% at that point however lost way a Little and the joys of crossing the moss drained it down manged to get a mile outside Ingelton on back road before died then about 4 miles of very hard cycling back to Clapham. was worth it though and now i no the route and using eco think it could be done on a single full charge.

Ribblehead Viaduct, Very historic and at the time one of the greatest infrastructure projects in the world. It was the first rail link between the north and the south of the UK and many died building it.
Fortunately there is a railway station half a mile from the viaduct so you could put your bike on the train and after a pleasant journey you can take the opportunity to pedal across the parapet.
There should be no problem just tell them that Izzyekerslike said it would be OK .
But seriously if you ever fancied a few days away it's worth travelling to the area, great rides (mostly hard) amazing scenery, picturesque villages etc. And for an interesting read Google Ribblehead viaduct.
