Vote! Struggle Dales 2025 Route: You Decide

I couldn’t make the reverse route last year and have completed the normal route three times now.

Alternate the direction each year.

Hi,

I’ve done the original route twice so would love to have a go at the reverse route.

My first time doing the Dales last year, I’d love to try it the OG way round next year.

Flipping it back to front each year would be great!

I’ll turn up either way though :)

The reverse route was better and more enjoyable in my opinion.
I really enjoyed doing the reverse route and so would like to do it again.
Have done the original too many times!

The reserve way around will make allthe best gravel descents climbs and the long road descents to Gunnerside ad past the Feldom Range will be long boring road climbs. Please leave it the original way round.

Last time 2020 nearly killed me so if I come back to finish the job it has to be in the same location 😊

Either way looking forward too it
