Grimwith Blast
56.2km · 1,503m climb · Loop
It links a big day in Wharfedale with the wide-open water and skies around Grimwith, so you get valley running, moorland crossings and a proper reservoir circuit all in one loop without needing a second car.

Simons Seat Blast
54.9km · 1,603m climb · Loop
Simon's Seat is one of Wharfedale's best short climbs on its own, and this route turns the trip up to it into the centrepiece of a full ultra distance day rather than an afternoon out.

Big moorland miles and some really nice fast and flowing trails. Covers proper ground without the serious climbing of the Dales fells.
