So the sticks pass descent down to Glenridding is pretty well known, but not many people talk about riding down the other side to Thirlmere.

Is it rideable on that side or is too a bit too steep/deathy? Anybody done it before?

steepish, quite straight and steepish, a few rocks here and there. for me ridable but not at super-quick speed.

maybe not quite as ‘classic’ as other lakes decents but good f you are heading that way
