Hello Mudpackers my name is Wendy and we was all at Mark's 40th birthday party last night and i must say how proud i was that 3 of the mudpackers turned up and the leader was mick...the lad is back and after drinking Sambuca....unlike Dazza who had to be put to bed like a baby and never showed up for the ride. You had a good day for it lads.....keep up the good work, i may join you one day!!!
Here is a bit about the ride
Cross the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and climb gently northwest from Gargrave on an easy track through a gentle landscape of pasture and woodland. Pass through largely agricultural land as far as Airton,
drop to cross the River Aire then face the major climb of the day, 250m on a mixture of tarmac (to Calton), stone track, faint grassy track, then improved track to reach Weets Top. A short, fast descent leads to Mastiles Lane, part of an ancient east— west drovers’ route. Follow this briefly before turning off southeast, with the route linking the farmsteads at Bordley and Lainger House. Climb on tarmac after the bizarrely located telephone box then enjoy
a long, ever-improving off-road downhill to Hetton. Lanes lead back to Gargrave. |
