Kirkby Moor Hill Climb Course- GR SD268818.
Length: 1 mile
Ascent: 110 metres (approx)
This is a single track dead end rough track course. The climb rises 100m in 0.9 miles from the crossroads west of Netherhouses/Broughton Beck to the wind turbine electricity sub station on the top of the moor. NOTE this starts off as a normal road surface but quickly becomes a rutted track. There is a slight fast drop in the middle then the rest of the climb is very rough with potholes, gravel and serious erosion.
