A brilliant wee cheeky loop up by Angle Tarn, followed by an out and back of the ullswater path. All in wall to wall sunshine, excellent start to the year of lakes trips. Met a group too, sure I recognised a couple from on here, one of them possibly claireymorris?.
Great day for it.

Looks awesome.
I'm particularly envious as I was supposed to be doing my first bit of "natural" lakes riding on Friday but my broken elbow has some loosening metalwork so I stayed sat on the sofa instead. Sulking.

That group would never ride cheeky 🙂
Stunning pics.
Don't suppose you have a gpx of the route do you?
No, but I could email you a screen grab of my strava bregante? Pretty easy to navigate matey.
Yes please mate. Email in profile.
Appreciate it.

Yep that was us..............well spottted. Sorry, I didn't recognise you!
We had an awesome yomp up to Raise (Helvellyn was too icy) and down sticks, then did lake shore and Back over Boredale Hause. What a day for it!!
Looks crap...
(you can download the GPX from strava)
I spent my first night ever with Mrs Gti in a tent pitched on that little peninsula above the rider in picture 3, above. We skinny-dipped in the tarn to applause from passing walkers then drank a Sancerre chilled in the water. The next morning's bathroom routine was a bit hurried though thanks to lack of cover.
Cheeky Angle Tarn route?
Clare, I didn't want to do the whole 'are you' thingy, quite embarrassing when they say singlewhatworld? I'd imagine!. Who was the guy I was was chatting to with you lot, riding a cotic with an impressive beard? I recognised him from somewhere, as did my mate, but can't think where from....
Cheeky Angle Tarn route?
Quite simple, up from Hayeswater reservoir, then peel off before you get up the grassy bridleway heading for the knott. Along Satura crag, angle tarn, boredale Hause, then FP descent to the wee barn cafe at the start of the ullswater path. Only 2 hours, not much hike a bike, and some lovely trails.
Can you send he the same screen shot please no beer..
Done.
me too please....
Is there ever a Lakes Pootle?
and me too please mate 😉
that's a great route, I've pushed up the Knott a little for the extra descent. And that descent from Boredale is fairly full on in places, FP definitely an easier ride than the BW.
Lawnman, Hendo - email sent.
Ah yeah the "singletr-what"? response !!
Ah the beardy/loungy one is Tom, my better half 😀
I've met him somewhere before, just can't think where.
you must have spelt my name wrong because I have no email from you mate, double check you typed LAWMAN and not LawNman
cheers 😉
Oops! Will do
Received, thanks mate 😉
