    16 Grassington 16 Start/Finish Grassington SE 003 636 Distance 19km (12 miles) Off road 9.5km (6 miles) On road 9.5km (6 miles) 50% Ascent 396m (1,300ft) OFF ROAD Grade ▲ Time 2½hrs–3hrs Parking Large car park in Grassington Pub The Fountaine Inn, Linton Café Cobblestones Café (but bring sandwiches as well) We are revising this route to avoid the Grassington Moor area as a mistake was made in the original version of this route. There is no legal right of way for bicycles across the old mine workings above Yarnbury to Bycliffe and this revision avoids this area entirely. The revised route takes the quiet tarmac lane from the heart of Grassington, following the eastern side of the River Wharfe, to the pleasant village of Conistone, where the original route is regained. There is a right of way (Scot Gate Lane) that climbs long and steeply up to Bycliffe from just outside Conistone. It would involve descending the same way you climbed, but the descent (part of the original route) is a fun undertaking. Overview A pleasant ride up the eastern side of the River Wharfe from Grassington to the vil- lage of Conistone. The route crosses the River Wharfe and heads to Kilnsey before climbing out of the dale. A long grassy climb over sheep pasture is followed by fun bridleways and then a good rocky descent towards Threshfield. Quiet roads and easy bridleways are then linked together for the return leg to Grassington. On Scot Gate Lane above Wharfedale 116 Mountain Biking in the Yorkshire Dales 16 Grassington 117 Directions 1 Starting out from the car park at the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority building in Grassington, turn out of the car park.

  • Faecal Bacteria Data from Samples Collected on the 24Th August 2020
    Faecal bacteria data from samples collected on the 24th August 2020 iWHARFE Improving water quality on the River Wharfe from Oughtershaw to the Ouse A citizen science project Faecal bacteria data from samples collected on the 24th August 2020 iWharfe is a citizen science project. It involves members of communities along the Wharfe valley, working together with the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and other agencies. It is funded by local donations and grants. The project was designed to provide a snapshot of water quality condi- tions along the entire length of the river on a single day and to raise awareness about water quality issues both for people and wildlife. Water samples were collected on the 24th August 2020. Here we report on results from samples analysed for faecal bacteria, the organisms in wastewater that cause gastro-intestinal illness. Executive Summary 1. The R. Wharfe “Big Health Check” on the 24th August 2020 involved five teams of citizen scien- tists taking water samples from 60 sites along the R. Wharfe at approximately the same time on the same day. 2. Although riverflow was relatively high, conditions were similar along the full length of the river. 3. Samples for faecal bacteria analysis were stored in cool boxes and hand-delivered to a collection point in Wakefield. They were analysed for E. coli and Intestinal Enterococci (IE) at ALS Ltd Cov- entry, an accredited microbiology laboratory, within 24 hours of sampling. 4. The results showed high concentrations of both E. coli and IE at sites between Buckden and Barden Bridge in Upper Wharfedale and at Beanlands Island in Ilkley, relatively low concentra- tions in Langstrothdale and in the stretch from Bolton Abbey to Ilkley Suspension Bridge, and var- iable concentrations downstream from Burley to the Ouse confluence at Cawood.
