How do I get there?
Carpark location
After parking in the car park next to the scrambling track entrance, walk down the cliff towards the tongue. Scramble down rightwards, then around left past Gaul Wall until the end of Bicycle Wall comes into view. Topos are from left to right. (There is also a Mod descent at the end of the tongue, but this is not as easy as scrambling round). The cliff is best approached from the right, following the walk down shown on the location plan.
Below are links to topos of the climbs at Bicycle Wall:
