cow green/high cup nick route

[Dan151]

Just been reading through MBUK 283 and realized that one of the pull out route maps is like 25 miles from me and I know how to get there with no problems. Has anyone ridden this route/part ridden it? It looks a challenge but with scenery like that I'll put up with the sweat and leg pain.

Here's the link to the route map - http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/mbuk-283-high-cup-nick

Cheers

Looks brilliant on the map - never done it in real life though. Will be travelling further afield in the summer so post on here how it went - piccies to if you can.
