NCN Route 68, Scammonden
Looking down to Scammonden Dam. The cycle path does not go along the visible path, which would have views down the valley, but instead goes under the M62 and on a path on the reservoir side of the dam. In the foreground one of those terrible A-frames, not wide enough for the handlebars, nor for cyclists of ample proportions.
