Right, I'm gonna look stupid here but......I thought Skye was in Scotland and Holmfirth in Yorkshire?
You are correct, it's local name for it. Some more info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A635_roadAnd yes Holmfirth, Yorkshire, summer wine country!
Went on a 80km ride up some hills in Kent with some friends, one was on a fixy but still was quicker up the hills than another on gears, took this photo of an ex military base at the top of a hill whilst waiting.
Last ride of my bike before I get a new one, it's nearly a decade old now and have little faith in the rear chainstays as they are carbon and looking a bit sorry for themselves (chain snapping hit it hard). Definitely going use helicopter tape on my new bike to prevent it happening again.

Fort Halstead?

Went for a blast over Honister after work this evening, bloody wind was a pain in the arse but at least it stayed dry. Got the Mrs to pick me up on the way back so I could be home in time to get something to eat before Game of Thrones*, 33 miles & 2500+ ft of ascent is decent enough for a Monday evening I reckon. Also, it doesn't really show on the photos, but the tops are still a bit white with snow

- she's now sat talking to her folks on the phone and I'm not allowed to start watching without her - should have stayed out longer!
