Am in Hawes again, one of a thousand bikes. I rode the atrocious Richmond Reeth road again. Mystifying how bad it is. Perhaps there's a layer of marzipan under it. After Reeth I turned left to take the tiny Healaugh - Askrigg road that takes a diagonal route over the top, seemingly passing close to a peak called The Fleak.

Once my lunch has settled I'll go to Garsdale Head and take the Coal Road over to Cowgill. Then down Ribblesdale and explore the low road from Settle to Grassington.

Once the weather becomes more reliable I think I'll choose a different day of the week for coming to Hawes. Too busy for me on a sunny Sunday.
