Hi

Me and a mate are going up to the lakes in a couple of weeks time, were planning to stay in a one of the YHA's in Grasmere. As we are only there for a day and a half were looking at nothing very long, also he's got a Specialized Big Hit so going far is going to be a mission. Is there any where that you can think of that is more of a good mess around spot (i.e, techy downhill etc) we've got a few ideas, but just wondering anyone can add to that?. Thanks, all comments appreciated.

loads: map here

any of the bridleways really, but be sure not to miss the fp that climbs just south of the YH at High Close and drops towards Grasmere!

Yup I agree with SFB there's loads of good riding. The first time I went riding in the lakes we popped into biketreks to ask for ideas and walked out having bought 2 os maps with routes highlighted all over them. I go back once or twice a year now and still use them.

sounds good i'll have to investigate further :-), we rode some of the bridleways last year and they were great fun so we've got a couple of ideas 😉

If you drive 12 miles north and are there on a Tuesday night …then you can join the Keswick Bikers!!!!! Or even a weekend there is usually something going on!

LMK!!!

We do Techy BTW 😛

Thanx stoney, we haven't quite finalised are plans, ive just got one of the new ragley blue pigs so that sould be a good laugh 🙂
