Heading back to the Lake district for a week in June. Last year I rode some epic mountains. Skiddaw, Blencathra, Whiteless, Grizedale Pike. All awesome (apart from Blencathra). What should I try this year?
What about the four pass challenge http://www.mbr.co.uk/videos/news/lake-districts-four-passes
Or likewise Start at Stavley ,and Garburn, Gatesgarth and Nan bield. ..now that's fun day..
Lots of routes around the Ullswater area. Some good descents from Hellvelyn some like the Dolly wagon side im not so keen. Worth a search though.
What didn’t you like about blencathra, and which way up/down did you go?
Garburn up onto kentmere horseshoe, to thornthwaite crag, then drop south off nan bield, 3 river, high borrans.
My face Lakeland views up there.
As above , just back from a Loop round Kentmere , from Stavely round to Kentmere , over Sangill and up over Harter fell, south down Nan Bield and Back over Garburn to Troutbeck and then spin throught Windermere to Ings and home  29 miles and 5200 foot of climbing with some great downs to boot
How was Nan Bield Steve? Was it boggy? Taking some guys down there next weekend, but considering something else for them if still wet.
To be fair there wasnt that much bog about , a little wet in places but ran really well .. Kentmere reservoir is empty if thats any indication
Thanks Steve!
