CycloClimbing OCD - North York Moors Claims
Compiled by Darrell High
"The NY Moors is an area of contrasting steep wooded valleys and wild moorland. The climbs are hard and the views excellent. There are few well defined cols or peaks - the landscape is fairly flat on the moorland. In such an area what exactly constitutes a claim will be subject to argument. Some of the roughstuff tracks meander across the moorland over numerous 'high points' and 'cols' but none are particularly significant. In such situations I've tried to pick the highest peaks and ignore the rest.
"Most of the roughstuff routes are manageable on a touring bike, at least in summer."
