It's fine I made my gf ride it on her hybrid, she only mildly complained. From memory there is a bunch of smashed up tiles or something near the bottom as you come onto long hill just take care there.v I wouldn't say it was smooth but its definitely doable.

I bailed on it once on a road bike, but the route was just up to the top of the climb and back before descending down to the east so there was no real reason to force it. My pal who used the route did the same, also on road bike.

I did it a couple of times because it forms part of the 68 sustrans route. I now choose to do the busier road (long hill?) next to it, especially if I have any panniers etc. and the view is good from there too.

Can any of you Whalley locals say what Buxton Old Road gravel climb up towards Long hill is like? Komoot says it’s gravel and looks quite smooth but a guy I rode with said no chance!
