Youve not even got an entryOriginally Posted by richardbriscoe
Trying to plod up hills every day slightly faster than the day before
I have, did it 2 weeks ago on the net.
Aye, he's in.
traffic into the valley gets murderous so give yourself plenty o'time, however you get up
Thats a good point actually.
Last year we came by the road - dont know if it has a name but you go through braithwaite and then travel under barrow, and then turn left onto the sharp kind of herpin (sp?) bend. Didnt get stuck in any traffic at all.
I'm doing the TWA which starts at 10.00. Leaving Clitheroe at 6.45am and picking up another in Longridge at 7.00am.
Room in the car for one or two more if needed.
One of the roads between Newlands and Braithwaite (the more easterly of the two i.e. the one under Swinside hill) was still closed due to damaged bridge (presumably at GR238230?) a couple of weeks ago , not sure if this applies to the one under Barrow too.
Does anyone know if you can actually drive from Braithwaite to Newlands at the moment?!?
We used the road that goes under barrow a couple of saturdays ago in a huge mini-bus to get to Causey Pike, all seemed ok.
I'm sure it is spelt like that in Lancashire, Al, but the rest of us prefer 'hairpin'
