Hills in the UK

[aJohnson]

Ok so it's half-term after this week so I'm wondering what are some very good hills to do in the UK (North west-ish England). I have one planned out (Great Dun Fell) but I'm looking for some others aswell, your suggestions are welcomed

Hardknott or wrynose pass?

[aJohnson]

Yeah I was looking at Hardknott pass and is another one Winnats pass?

Cheers

if you wanted a hilly ride you could park up in whalley, make your way to waddington and over the fell to slaidburn. over tatham to devils bridge then barbondale to dent. from dent up deepdale and kingsdale to ingleton.
from ingleton over the minor road to clapham. back over bowland knotts,then grindleton fell and back to waddington. finish up over pendle hill and back to whalley. 10,000 feet of climbing and abouit 90 miles.
very scenic at this time of year.

winnats is a beast but only short.
most in peak district are short(ish) but usually steep... ridden most of em several times each this year so kinda know every inch and every pothole personally
If your riding the hills this half term take care with the weather as its bad enough sometimes during the summer and this time of year can turn nasty quickly
you could always enter some AAA Audax events then u get some cracking routes with loadsa hills included, and theres loads not far from you

Fantabulous! My recommendation also.

Remember to take your donor card with you!

 

[aJohnson]

Yeah I'm trying to figure out which is the hardest one of those, Great Dun Fell is long but not excessively steep.

All I know is that it'll be a hard week

 

[livestrong10_02]

hardest part will be travelling or riding to get to them.

Rawson's Raike in Ramsbottom. Also the Lancaster to Clitheroe road, it climbs 900 ft up into the Bowland fells before going through the Trough of Bowland.
