OP here – my mate can’t do that weekend now so decision def made.
Next decision is pining down 3 rides. Decent sized but not monster miles.
I like Whinlatter but not a must-do.
Here’s what I’ve done before, but would like to do something I’ve not done:
Whinlatter N & S
Back O’ Skiddaw
Skiddaw/Ullock Pike
Helvellyn up Keppel Cove/down Sticks
Ullswater shore/Martindale/Boredale Hause
High Street/Thornthwaite Crag from Hartsop
Borrowdale Bash
Bit of mincing between Black Sail/Styhead passes whilst camping in Wasdale
Claife Heights
Garburn loop from Staveley
TNF at Grizedale (about 9 years ago last time!)
Grisedale Pike/Hobgarton Crag/Grasmoor/Whiteless Pike from Buttermere (Gasgale Gill)
Loughrigg/Langdales/Hodge Close – barely remember as years ago and got lost 😉
So what am I missing?
As mentioned I’d like the best smiles-per-miles I can get from Walna Scar.
I’ve heard Grizedale Forest non-TNF is very good.
Descent down into Borrowdale from Esk Pike sounds good.
Is Nan Bield right up there?
Don’t mind a bit of nav but don’t wanna be checking maps every 2 mins and not enjoying the flow.
Any suggestions gratefully received along with tips/links/downloads etc.
Thanking you muchly 🙂
