Belles Go Plane Spotting - Multiflight Cafe (cake2)

Setting off from the front of the cycle shop, we will head along Salts mill road, at the traffic lights we will turn left at the roundabout, then right onto Dockfield road for half a mile, join the towpath for the short section to Buck mill lane swing bridge, drop down the trail over the river, turn right and follow the path coming out at the Old Barn in Esholt (there is an alternative route if you don’t want to ride across the field)

Heading into Esholt we will cut up the path beside the Woolpack onto the road, then trail through the woods, turning left at the end onto Gill lane, turn right at the traffic lights onto New road, straight across the roundabout onto New road side, then left onto Quaker lane coming out on Harrogate road, through the lights at Murgatroyds onto Victoria avenue, then turn right into the private road that leads to Multiflight

Return route
Turning right out of Multiflight onto Harrogate road we will pick up the cycle path that goes under the runway, crossing over to the other side of the roundabout and back onto the road on Warren house lane, at the end there is a right turn onto Cemetery road, (care will be required at this junction), follow the road to the T junction and left onto Carlton Lane following it back to Queensway Guiseley where we have another right turn (there is a pedestrian crossing) head over the mini roundabout to Oxford road, through the lights to Victoria road, right onto Cavendish road then left onto Back Lane then right onto Park road, (there are traffic lights) then left onto Old Hollins Hill back through Esholt and out onto Otley road and back to Shipley and Salts Mill. If the traffic is busy we can turn left just after Slingsby back to Dockfield road and retrace our route back to our start point.

A lovely ride up to Multiflight Yeadon to do some plane spotting. Ideal for those who want to try a little more road and climbing.
