The more exposed and mountainous the better. I wanna see rock, I wanna see technical riding. Ok ok I'll calm down. I'm planning a Lakes trip and want some inspiration.

i'll try and remember to post some pictures tonight, but we did this a few weeks back and it was truly amazing. some of the best riding i have ever done!

up skiddaw - down allerdale ramble & over ullock pike.

not that long a ride, so you could probably do it twice in a day!

peachos - really really want to do that so looking forward to the pics. You could maybe go from Keswick via Threlkeld/Lonscale Fell to extend it a bit?

Yep - I didn't take the picture myself but it was pre-flood...that section's changed a lot since then eh ! Lucky your mate didn't fall to his left !

Did you hike up from Goldscope Mine (the valley between High Spy and Hindscarth) ? Never, ever, ever contemplate trying that out as a descent - we tried it a few weeks ago - it was bobbins 😡

We went Little town, up Maidenmoor which it rideable except the rockstep above Black Crag across to High Spy then down to the tarn up Dalehead(nasty carry!!). Along the tops to Robinson then down to Buttermere and back up Rigg beck or Death valley as we call it when the suns out!! Cracking ride :mrgreen:

borwens,its Birk Side on Helvellyn.he rode most of it.

Did that a few weeks back. Great fun but damn is it hard! Our guide booke had it described a "Rideable?"!
If it wasn't for some of those HUGE drainage channels it'd be a lot more managable.
Great ride, wish I'd had the camera out on the descents mind.

[url=

a link[/url] to the photo album from our long weekend. There's no pics of any descents - no way was I slowing to take photos. There's also no photos of Garburn 'cos it lashed it down all that day!
