Join us for another opportunity to challenge ourselves climbing Langbar and Barden Road. A mix of easy and challenging climbs, stunning scenery and much more with lunch stop at the picturesque village of Burnsall

We head down to the lights, right then left over the bridge onto Denton road, then right onto Carters lane and start the climb up to Langbar, plenty of places to stop, check the views out, have a drink and a breather, once we reach the end of the climb it's a steep down down to Beamsley, from here its onto Bolton Abbey, when passing the main car park we can have a powder room pit stop before turning left onto the gated road up to Embsay, then we tackle Barden road, this is a 2.2 mile climb before dropping down to Barden, picking up B6160 to Burnsall and our lunch stop. There is an option to head up to Hebden to the Old School Tearoom, (3.4 miles)

Leaving the cafe we head over the river and onto Appletreewick, Howgill and Barden, turning left onto Storiths lane, coming off at Cavendish Pavilion crossing the river and head out the estate coming out by the memorial fountain we turn left and head back to Ilkley on the usual route through Nesfield

Pennies for sweet treat, spare inner tube (essential as hedge cutting season)
