Shortish Loop from Hawes through Cotterdale and taking in a tough climb and a fantastic long descent to Hardraw.

Distance: 12miles
One long climb, very Steep in places, then 1 long descent
Time: about 2hours

Loop round Cotterdale up the road through the Dale and then climbs up through the Forestry, pretty steep at the top for the last 100m. Then a nice flatish ride along the track round the ridge. Before a fantastic descent down the natural bridleway to Hardraw, an absolute blast!

Handlebar mounted GoPro video of the descent into Hardraw from Great Shunner Fell, brilliant couple of miles downhill on a Brideway.
