Arrgh- Death by 1001 slopes. It's not the big headliners that do you in, it's the insidious little sods that go up 50m, level off, go up 50m, level off..., until you're left screaming "Where's the bloody watershed?"
The run out Padiham-Warton-K. Lonsdale-Appleby (130K) was actually quite pleasant; knocked it off by lunchtime, inc. stops, so thought "on a winner here" - I should know better by now, shouldn't I

"...
All along the watchtower
Princes kept their view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl

The run down from Tan Hill.

The (bottom of) Aysgarth Falls - sneaky, making you stop then hiding a climb around the corner.
Cracking day out
