A lumpy ride taking in some classic Lancashire climbs. Cafes at Dunsop bridge, just off route. I passed on that planning to stop at Sykes van at the foot of the Trough but it wasn't there that day so be aware. Other possible stops are all near or at Scorton, the first being Daisy Clough garden center but this gets busy and you might have a long wait. In that case opt for The Barn in Scorton itself.

The distance qualifys for a DIY 100km Audax if you are that way inclined and is well worth the effort but try to pick a nice day, high wind and rain will make it much more of a trial.
