Challenge: Looking for a challenge this weekend? Ok, you may need a little more planning time for this but it’s one for the challenge book. Cycle up Bealach-Na-Ba challenge. Known as one of the greatest climbs in Britain. Bealach-Na-Ba really takes the breath away and offers a great cycling challenge. Starting from near sea-level it rises 626m in 9.1km of uphill – reaching 20% at its steepest gradient. If you wanted to do an ‘everesting’ challenge, it would only take 14.1 times to climb the 8,848m. Who’s got this one?
Exhibition: Combine the outdoors and art with a visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park over the weekend. Some mega bits on show from the likes of Damien Hirst, Daniel Arsham and many many more.
