8. However, it's the coast we're heading for, meaning that you'll have to leave Dalby<br />
and it's Red Route at Bickley unless you cycle back along the forest road after<br />
playing a while longer. If you do leave at Bickley, take the BW opposite that leads<br />
to a lane, then turning Left and Left again onto the track to Langdale end.<br />
At the road turn Right and then Left, following this to cottages and farms, before<br />
turning off onto the track on the Right as the lane bends left (just after some<br />
barns).<br />
9. This track skirts woodland before re-joining a tarmac road where you will need to<br />
turn Left before joining the BW on the Right into Low Dales and Whisper Dales.<br />
This track follows the valley through meadows before entering the trees once<br />
more and taking you to another road at Reasty Hill.<br />
10. Turn Left and cycle for approximately 400 metres until a BW just a ramshackle<br />
farm on the Left, which looks as though it’s straight out of the pages of a Heartbeat<br />
novel. Keep the church spire in view at Harwood Dale and head towards it,<br />
exiting the track onto tarmac beside the church.<br />
11. The road twists down gently through the hamlet, with the next track (BW) off to<br />
the Left in the direction of Keasbeck Farm, to the side of a single storey cottage<br />
with small wall, which is topped with a ornate iron railed fence. Follow this track<br />
as it winds along, eventually joining the forest track that leads to the A171 road -<br />
nearly there guys! Keep cranking it up.<br />
12. Cross over this busy road with care before cycling along the gated BW opposite<br />
and heading finally to the sea. This woodland soon throws you out onto the last<br />
stretch of moorland heather, with an excellent section of singletrack down to the<br />
road. Turn Left and follow this downhill for approximately 400 yards before taking<br />
the BW which is slightly hidden to your Right. This track takes you across a short<br />
stretch of scrubland to Ravenscar and the sea.<br />
13. It’s finally time to unclip those pedals and take yourself down to the water. Unlike<br />
Wainwright, we won't be offering you a pint...buy your own.
