As title, really. Was planning a ride from Staveley tomorrow, but will it be more trouble
than it’s worth coz of snow? Any info, tips, route ideas welcome. Ta.

Staveley is gonna be rammed tomorrow, it’s the wheelbase demo weekend, this weekend. So I would probably avoid kentmere, as its gonna be be soggy mudfest.

Thanks, Sam – useful tip. What about snow levels if we head elsewhere? Anyone?

Not a lot in Grasmere

There is a beer festival in Staveley though.

No snow in Bowness, rained all morning though.

The Borrowdale Bash was clear today. Barely even dirty by the time I got back!

Sounds like lakes should be ok to ride snow-wise then. Any other reports from folk there now? Ta.

Bump.

Avoid the high peaks (helvellyn, skiddaw) and you’ll be fine.Snow is above 600m mainly.

Still fine in Bowness, grizedale looks good from what I could see out the window when it was light.

Ok, cool. Will head up and see where we can get to. Thanks for all the info.

We were up in Kentmere today, not too bad actually. Got parked up in Staveley no bother and once we were out we barely saw anyone.

Quite wet out but not too bad. If you do Garburn make sure you do it clockwise, quite frankly it was shit the other way today! The downhill going west has been totally ruined.

No bother with snow at all.

How do you mean ruined crispo? Has it been sanitised, or has the weather played its part? Not been up garburn for a while.

I’m about 15 miles North of Keswick and we’ve had a little snow over night. I imagine the Lakes has possibly had more though.

Yeah snowed overnight here to. Only about half inch though, so still ok to ride low level. It’s raining again mind, so it’s gone reet slushy.

Yeah sanitised.

Maybe it’s not new, but when I rode it 4 weeks ago I’m sure it was very different. Could have just been the snow that made me not realise before. There was a jcb at the bottom by the resevoir though!

Couple inches wet snow at bottom of whinlatter.
