About a mile SSE of here is Park Rash. The Park Rash hill climb
course is on the road to Leyburn. It starts about a mile north of
Kettlewell and in places it reaches gradients of 1 in 4 and steeper
and has been the end of many a cyclists’ dreams!
In 1991 a young Chris Boardman won the National Cycle Hill Climb
Championship on Park Rash – his fourth national title in a
row. Three years later he won a gold medal in the 4000metre pursuit
at the Barcelona Olympics. The WSI series takes its name from the
way in which GPS technology locates you to a spot on the ground.
The title also conveys the notion of fields of knowledge and
interest overlapping that makes us who we are and helps shape the
landscape we are in.
