Seldom Seen is a gem, Birk Side will blow your mind
Disagree with the former agree with the latter, see wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we all had the same tastes.
Too true, we did Birk Side first and I set off last from the top and managed to pass my mates on the way to the bottom, even though I had to stop for a rest half way down to re-collect my thoughts and get over the shaking from the pure fear of the descent, kept telling myself all the way down, ‘Don’t crash, this will hurt! Don’t Crash this will hurt!’ 🙂 Then got told off at the bottom by my mates for being some sort of psycho lunatic for riding so fast, but I did point out my little wheels needed extra speed to get over all them rocks!
Seldom Seen was just so much fun, just threw caution to the wind and pinged off all the rocks, berms and roots with wanton abandon! It was so good we went and did it again on day two before crossing the valley floor up Boredale Hause and back around for the Lakeshore path, great weekend out in the Lakes. We’re back up Hartsop / Boredale Hause again Wednesday night, should be good!
