Went round Kentmere and Longsleddale today and its the driest I can remember it being. Sections that were boggy are bone dry and it’s bloody fantastic! 😛

great ! – I’m in N lakes this weekend, looking to double my year’s mileage

bit of dust would be nice 🙂

me too, Parkamoor Saturday, Helvellyn Sunday :o)

c’mon then simon – offer a poor beggar nice a route near keswick

(I seem to remember you don’t rate high st – is that right ?)

I seem to remember you don’t rate high st – is that right ?

you gotta be kidding! High Street will be brilliant in these dry conditions 🙂 I posted 3 Keswick centred rides earlier on another thread…

Borrowdale Bash
Tour of Skiddaw
High Street

High Street will be probably about as dry as it’s going to get. If it’s clear you get fantastic views. There are better routes in terms of pure riding quality imo but it’s a great day out.

Not done much in N Lakes to be honest but Lonscale Fell and the Spoony Green Lane dh into Keswick are great fun.

Its p@ssing down today so you’ve missed the boat!! :-p

same here, went round longs and kentmere after work on sunday(work in staveley so its my commute if i fancy it)!was freaking awesome, once again driest ive ever seen it!going out there again today as ive got a nice 5spot to test out. along with a couple of locals, if you see me say hi!

Its p@ssing down today so you’ve missed the boat!! :-p

Ouch! Oh well I’m off to Kielder this weekend. 😉

Grumm

Not sure where you are heading in Keilder but FC website lists diversions and closures for the deadwater trail this weekend – might be worth checking before you head off?

Andy_hew – I wouldn’t worry too much about diversions. I guess they’re for the Avalanche Enduro but the new Red trail is opening this weekend – should be plenty to ride :).

Bring on the racing!!

I’m doing the Avalanche Enduro up there, but cheers for the heads up 😛
