Fresh Goods Sunday - Cycling Climbs of the North West England Book

I bought this book in the Lakes following on from reading the Climbs of North - East England edition. The book is split into four areas - Cumbria, Lancashire, Liverpool & Manchetser and Cheshire.I only really intend to try / tick off a few of the climbs in the Cumbria section. Some I have already done years ago when I was fitter! One that I defo want to try is Great Dun Fell, the beast of all climbs on a fine day and if I can find my climbing legs and a 34t rear cassette!
The RRP is £8.99 and well worth every penny.

If you’re looking for a true test on the bike, and relish having your legs pummelled by savage inclines, then head to North-West England. Featuring famous climbs such as Honister Pass in the Lake District and Great Dunn Fell in the Pennines, alongside lesser known yet equally arduous ascents like Gorsey Brow and Swiss Hill, the final book in the Cycling Climbs regional series saves the very best until last. From the almost impossible 30% slopes of Hardknott Pass to the gloriously long climb of the Cat and Fiddle, one thing is for certain – you’ll need your strongest climbing legs.

 

I am going to do this climb one day, I have heard how hard it is and what the weather conditions at the top can be like!
