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!
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.
