There is also a ski centre the other side of the pennines, in Weardale, but that may be a bit far from home for him.

that looks like a proper one that requires proper snow
Ah so you were referring to something more like a snow dome?

We used to have a similar ski slope in Lancaster, made out of scrubbing brushes...
The one everyone trying to find is about 10km away from the road they should be looking for

Yay!
That makes it even worse than I thought! The first section obviously drags the average down a bit.I'm rechecking that constant 8.3% elevation, just to make sure, obviously, @ColinJ is correct.

Normally I would still be lying in at that time. Unfortunately, I had to drag myself out of bed after less than 4 hours sleep today and go off for a blood test. I'm just trying to summon up the energy to go for a ride in the lovely sunshine while there isn't too much traffic.
Anyway - well done!

I wish I could. It has been really frustrating with this good weather, not being able to ride.

I bet! Could you go for a nice hilly country walk instead?
I hope the wrist heals soon.
My pal in Hebden Bridge just rang. I am going to go for a loop now and call in there for a coffee on the way back.

I have done a couple of times.
Well since I wrote the above, I had a fracture clinic this afternoon, and the cast is now off. The consultant thought I might be able to get back on the bike for some easy rides in about 2 weeks.

I've walked past the Lake District Ski club a few times, in the summer with no snow.

it's not that one either.
Who'd have thought there we so many places to ski in the northwest of England? ...and my road is miles away from the nearest one.
No shadows in my picture either, so you won't be able to suss out which way the road is headed... but if it's any help, I'm headed toward a place i can ski, and away from a place i can ice skate
