As pre Pyrenees training we headed out to the Pennines on Sunday. The start of the ride was a quick excursion to the top of Great Dun Fell and the radar station then back down the same way. I say a quick excursion, its reported to the the highest tarmaced road in the UK and at about 2800 ft, its high! Its also steep and long at 4.5 miles and with just above 2000ft of climbing its hard work! We were incredibly lucky to get a great day with hardly any wind. So after just under 40 mins of climbing we were at the top.
