Really glad you found this ride, one of my favourites. Konik is Polish for small horse not sure where the small comes in but these horses are indeed an awesome sight especially when they start to pronk and churn up the ground which is why they were put in the fen.

Walked up from Bardon Mill to Housesteads on that very road just the other weekend - but everything was white after quite a heavy snowfall. Quite a tough route on a bike.

Glad you enjoyed it! I did the BHF London to Brighton ride twice, way back in the 1980s. I did it with a group of friends, none of us were regular cyclists at the time, and we did it with minimal preparation. Ditchling Beacon (the final hill into Brighton) totally defeated us! I walked about half of it, though to be fair the "5-speed racing bike" that I'd borrowed for the day wasn't really the best choice for that hill! We all thoroughly enjoyed the day though. Now, fast-forward almost 40 years, and after taking up cycling when the Covid lockdowns started, Brighton was on my 'to-do' list. But memories of Ditchling Beacon meant I kept putting-off the idea. Finally in July last year I set out to do the round-trip. It was my second ever 100-mile ride, and Ditchling Beacon was much easier than I'd feared with a) a more suitable bike, and b) a better level of fitness!
