    Hilarious Nick. As someone that hasn't ridden the other side of Sticks, it would have been entirely on your head had you ended up stuck on the wrong side of that lump of rock. It's those sorts of gambles that makes a man!

    Back in the day I rode from Buttermere, up Honister, over Dale Head, down Hindsgarth and Scope End into Newlands. Then it started to pour down, the mist descended etc. I suppose either Whinlatter or Newlands would have been a good option, but I thought Sail, Wandope, Whiteless Pike would be more fun. I was right. Must confess that I was a touch scared going over The Scar though!

    Nothing wrong with heavy bikes round Whinlatter, you did remember to go up onto Grisedale Pike of course?

    Looks better than the trails I did last year in the Alps!

    The Descent from Red Pike in Buttermere is a similar tech fest.

    Whats Stakes Pass like? I thought it was supposed to be unrideable?

    90% rideable.

    Stakes has been worked on in the last few years. Not really a great descent into Langstrath would say it gets used more by locals as a access up. 😉

    Yes I though the push up from langdale to stakes looked like a good descent. I enjoyed the day but next time will try reversing the route.

    marionheck – yes thought that was you.

    Nick you would love Sprinkling Tarn to Styhead then Stockley Bridge. The last bit from the trees at Taylor force gill to Stockley Bridge my fave bit of techy descending in the lakes. But its all good down there. 😀
