Before we start…I’ve searched and searched and can’t find a thread on here that I seem to remember covering this subject…a link would be great!
We’re off to near Cartmel next week. Kids are 9 and 10 and can get round blues and easy trail centre reds.
Last time we were up there we did a lush Claife Heights trip which we’ll be repeating, a Loughrigg Terrace loop which we’ll avoid in August(!) and a ‘make it up as we go along’ trip from Coniston village north to Hodge Close which was good but I think could be made more fun.
If the weather is awful we might head right up to Whinlatter (not too bothered about an early start and a bit of a drive) but where else can we ride that won’t be bonkers busy in mid August ( I know, everywhere will be…!)
I’ve heard a lot about the off-piste stuff at Griezdale, any tips please?
Any routes up high that are easy-ish, I love open hills riding but not sure I’ll get the kids up to the top of Helvellyn.
What’s the riding like north of Staverley into the hills?
Thanks in advance.
PS I don’t have a gps thing so can’t copy route files etc, just starting points, place names and stuff is fine, I have maps…
