Tips

October 23, 2018

Cycling

Well done to anyone who manages to cycle up the full incline from High Peak junction to the nice seat at the top with a lovely view. The incline is a constant gradient so no chance for the rest at any point. In autumn there are a lot of leaves and nuts on the ground which makes cycling even harder. I failed after about two thirds of the slope!
Great way though to gain the height and then travel further along the High Peak trail.

Cycling

Steep long slog! Hard work on a full sus, slightly lesser on a gravel bike. Totally worth it for the goodness at the top though!

Cycling

Starts hard and only gets harder, After you exit the tunnel there's a few small steps that help to prevent erosion to navigate and once you get to the tree cover the gradient eases off a little bit only for it to ramp back up again as you get to the gate at the top
