Pre-Struggle Dales Warm Up

Two options for a big day out from Dolphinholme (J33, M6) into the Dales for a taster of what's to come on the Struggle Dales route. Both routes take in the beautiful Cross o Greet climb, the upland Kingsdale Valley - the view down into Dentdale and then either a tough climb over the Coal Road from Cowgill before heading for home or a more direct route through Barbon and into the flatter rolling seaside landscapes of Silverdale and Arnside for a slightly easier (but not easy!) option.Both routes are sapping.Great options for caf/lunch at the Seasons Bakery in Ingleton and the Churchmouse in Barbon
