I dont get it, i have ridden it a few times and it is described by many as a good lakes descent.
I have always ridden up from the skelwith bridge side, eventually get to that last gate on the top, desend to the gate at the bottom and thats it, last all of about 30 seconds and is not technical at all. In fact whilst it may be fast it doesnt feel much more than a fire road.
Have i got it completely wrong?
Where is this great "iron keld descent" that you speak of
