He took us on a great ride last year ending up down Grasmere into Ambleside.</p> <p>Crazylegs where are you? </blockquote></p> <p>Hello!<br /> Yes, I took Bunnyhop, NBT and a couple of others out from near Ambleside. We parked <a href="http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=336532&amp;y=505855&amp;z=120&amp;sv=336532,505855&amp;st=4&amp;ar=y&amp;mapp=map.srf&amp;searchp=ids.srf&amp;dn=799&amp;ax=336532&amp;ay=505855&amp;lm=0">HERE</a>, it's a very small (and free) car park but you need to get there EARLY or it'll be rammed. And park somewhere you can get out of easily, selfish tossers will sometimes block you in.</p> <p>Route went S down the road then turn R and up a steep tarmac climb, it turns to access road over Ivy Crag and drops to Loughrigg Tarn. Through Skelwith Bridge, up the long road climb past the Drunken Duck then Iron Keld, Arnside, Oxen Fell, Hodge Close Quarry, Little Langdale, Elterwater, High Close and finish on Loughrigg Terrace, it brings you out where you parked.</p> <p>There's a million variations on that route, it's great in all weathers, it can be as technical/fast/hardcore as you want but it's great for beginners cos you're never too high, never too far from civilisation, never short of a bail-out option.</p> <p>Only problem is it's proximity to Ambleside and Loughrigg Terrace gets rammed with walkers. Either aim to finish as near dark as possible or do it VERY early. It's a stunning descent, one of those ones that is easy for beginners at pootle pace but (if you properly rag it) very technical as well. Unfortunately, it's difficult to rag it when it's full of walkers... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/recommend-me-a-fairly-leisurely-lake-district-ride#post-2495342 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:32:15 +0000 GaVgAs 2495342@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Any of the Bridleways south of Staveley are generally quiet with great views, exellent for an easy day,Theres some cracking trails around Winster, and its very dry up here at the moment..Wilfs in Stavely for cream teas.. <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=":wink:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/recommend-me-a-fairly-leisurely-lake-district-ride#post-2495306 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:17:58 +0000 woodchip46 2495306@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Another +1 for claife heights. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/recommend-me-a-fairly-leisurely-lake-district-ride#post-2495179 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 18:05:10 +0000 ampthill 2495179@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>+1 Claife heights</p> <p>But start in say Bowness.
