Following on from a couple of other threads, could i pester you guys for some route info for riding Helvellyn.
Myself and 3 mates are planning it for start of May, we've been wanting to do for a while. we're a mixture of abilities ranging from near pro DH'er to me whos has been riding for years but is not as fit as I used to be as i don't get out much these days since the kids arrived!! I've ridden in the peaks a bit and the shore track from Pooley Bridge to Patterdale a few times. Don't think i fancy going down dollywagon though!
I'm thinking of riding from Patterdale up grisdale valley to the tarn, then shouldering the bike up dollywagon, riding over the peaks and coming down either keppel or sticks and back to Glenriding. Is this route feasible and will it be fun? Maximum fun is required
Oh and can you tell me how long that route is as well?
Cheers for any info and feel free to suggest any other routes.
