The North Pennines is home of the highest climbs in England. 

I’ve only ever dipped my toe in there previously with Great Dun Fell and Hartside. But I’ve been told I must properly explore it as there are so many good climbs and the road are great and very quiet. 

I’ve been waiting for the perfect weather conditions to make the £64 train fare and 7 hour round trip on the train be worth it.

Thursday was that time. Calm winds, sunny weather. Maybe a bit cold at 4 degrees but jackets, gloves and leg warmers will sort that problem out. 

It was well worth the travel time, cost and wait!
It’s a cycling paradise of England. I wish I lived closer so I could ride here more often. 

So many epic climbs in a concentrated area. And different style of climbs. 

I ticked off 8 of @100climbs up here but there are so many more to do! And others from @climb_finder 
May look at a multi day trip next year in the North Pennines.
