Number 51 in Simon Warren's list of 100 greatest climbs, Tan Hill is a long 10km drag to the top from its start point near Whaw. It heads to the north west from here so if you're travelling in the opposite direction, you have a lovely shallow descent to enjoy.

The climb has an average gradient of 2% but with a kicker near the top of 10% so save a little energy for that as you summit.

Seems to go on for ever. Few steep kicks in there to punish you.

So remote, so windswept, so starkly beautiful. The climb goes on and on for mile after mile of nothingness, but it's never steep or too challenging, and there's a nice pint waiting for you at the summit
