Aye lad. I’d get your good self down to Bike Treks and have a word with Andy,Keith,Sarah and fellow staff.
If it were me I’d head out to Claife heights via wray castle then..onto beyond fields,left up to base camp. Follow fire road to scab moss/high moss. Blast down to far swarey and after pub turn left(BW)back on ya self. up and over Mitchell knots…one hell of dh to bass how.
Head back along gravel road to red nab. Back up to basecamp. Then got to look here fella… a cross road at Guide post – turn right dh..previous you’d have blasted past high moss( 1st loop) and down past wraymires tarn, don’t do that again.
From Guide post onto Rough Hows and down to Colthouse.
Another great DH! Ride on road to knipe fold where you take a left up to the Iron keld plantation. Don’t miss the sign post right..at the top..you’ll bare off right and up steepish track.Then another great dh to near Stephen how;you’ll pop out onto the A 593- HEAD DOWN TO SKELWITH BRIDGE.
Take a load off at CHESTERS and have coffee and cake. FINISH – the loop via Loughrigg tarn and onto intake wood..turn right at the top of hill(on road) and follow trail(BW) along Loughrigg terrace into Ambleside.
One of many little gems..if you’re feeling mega you could easily include grizedales famous beastie dh..plus many others cracking bits of trail.
PEACE
Ps do ask the chaps at BTs they know their stuff and will be happy o help.
