Pete Archer's video has been kicking around for a little while now.
Love it, and now Pinkbike have picked it up.

But where's this?

Clearly Latrigg and Dodd in the background and possibly High Rigg in the foreground on the right. I can't get my bearings.

Looks like the're coming off Castlerigg fell towards Brackenriggs. Maybe a path on the ground, but nothing on the OS.

That's the descent off Lower Man towards the junction with the Kepple Cove zig zags (heading towards Raise). Shot from the top of Helvellyn with a very long lens. How do I know with such certainty you might ask? I'm the rider at the front 😀

Wow. I guess every time I've ridden down Lower Man, I've been looking in front of me, not to the left!
Cracking photo and love the video. But why carry up Swirral Edge? I've taken to riding up Grisedale and carrying up Dollywagon.

No you can go from Glenridding past Helvellyn YHA then up Keppel Cove.

Stay away you will die.

Besides everyone knows up Sticks and down Dollywagon is the only way.
