We are off to ride in the lakes over the weekend,we are going to do the parkamoor and walna scar route out of the lakes guide book from VG Guidebooks,but about half way down the walna scar descent it look like you end up riding down a road,anyone know any better routes down?

When you hit the car park at the road head you can turn left and work your way through the quarries. All sorts of routes through there. Some of the quarries are still working too. Barnes has a route that turns right at the car park and down a lane that really is cr@p and hardly rideable, but he'll tell you it's the best thing in the area.

Click to make bigger. Contains 3 of the best descents in one ride. Parkamoor to Nibthwaite, Seathwaite and Walna Scar.

Big Day out but ACE!

Lowey is that left or right at the car park?

If you heading down Walna and hit the car park at the top of the tarmac, at the gate, turn right, follow for about 400 yards, then take the gate on the left. This bridleway is a superb combination of steep grass, tech rock and slippery technical rocks in a narrow walled path. Its called Spoon hall and spits you out on the Coniston Torver road near the Ship Inn.

Its a Cracker mate. Have fun.

its unrideable and crap all of it… no it is rideable th eroute Lowey is describing. One of our lot did it in hardtaill iirc BTW I rode it with Lowey cracking day tempted but Snowdon beckons this weekend 😆

Yup listen to Lowey it's a cracking end to one of the best descents in the Lakes.

r, it bust scruffs ribs at the stream, stupid fat fkr….lol
