Edge of the Wolds

Start - Main Street, Horkstow, DN18 6BJ

1. 1
   Start and finish at the crossroads of Main Street, Carr Lane and Ostler's Lane, in Horkstow.
2. 2
   Head North on Main Street for 0.5 mile, with Hall Farm on your left, turn right onto Horkstow Lane. This is a 10% gradient hill and for those new to cycling, or newly returned to cycling, it may be advisable to walk.
3. 3
   The climb lasts about 0.4 of a mile, then turn sharp right onto Middlegate Lane. The road continues to rise, but at a much gentler gradient, before it levels out and reveals spectacular views of the flatland to the West.
4. 4
   Stay on Middlegate Lane for about 3.4 miles, before turning right onto Middle Barn Lane, dropping down to Worlaby. This hill has a steep descent, therefore, proceed with caution.
5. 5
   At the bottom of the hill the road veers to the left, turn right onto New Road. This will take you to a T-junction. Turn right onto the B1204. This will take you all the way back to Horkstow, passing through the villages of Bonby and Saxby All Saints.
