点评:Started at the top end, Wyedale Car park. At about 3.30 pm.
I thought this was the start of the trail, but it isnt, its a potholed single track road to the bike hire place at Blackwell Mill. From the hire shop you have to push your bike up a quite steep bank to get to the trail. After that it pretty plain sailing with decent crushed gravel compacted well surfaces.
Its around 8.5 miles long, but it took me over an hour as there were so many people about. Quite a lot to see along the way, but not really a relaxing ride as you are constantly trying to avoid people who are wandering along in a world of their own, as they have every right to do. The plentiful tunnels are not very well lit, so extra care is needed, they are also chilly.... especially in early June.
Left for the return ride at about 4.50. MUCH quieter on the way back and much more enjoyable.
翻译:大约下午3点30分,我们从山顶的Wyedale停车场出发。
我以为这就是步道的起点了,但其实不是,这是一条坑坑洼洼的单行道,通往Blackwell Mill的自行车租赁处。从租赁处出发,你得把自行车推上一个相当陡峭的斜坡才能到达步道。之后,路况就相当平稳了,路面都是压实的碎石。
步道大约8.5英里长,但由于人太多,我花了一个多小时。沿途风景不错,但骑行过程并不轻松,因为你得时刻避开那些沉浸在自己世界里的人,他们当然有权这样做。许多隧道的灯光不太好,所以需要格外小心,而且也很冷……尤其是在六月初。
大约4点50分出发返程。回程安静多了,也愉快多了。
