    I'm trying to avoid the inevitable BH hotspots. Does anyone have local knowledge/experience of the trails in this area?

    Only The Calf might be classed as a hot spot – otherwise just the odd walker about.

    A busy day on Smardale Fell 😆

    Cheers, DeeJay. That is the type of busy day I'm looking for! 😀

    It is only a short distance from where I live, but for some reason I have never bothered! 😳

    The trail over Great Asby Scar is good – you even get to ride through a nature reserve – then drop left into Knotts Lane for a peddley descent. The climb out of Roundthwaite is testing with a nice drop into the other Borrowdale – up the valley and then a stiff climb over the Breasthigh Road takes you to a very bouldery descent into Bretherdale – some lovely trails – but don't tell anyone . . . . .

    Sounds great, DeeJay. My weekend guest is into her megalithic things, so doubtless there will be many diversions!
