I’ve heard stuff about trail sanitisation and some bits are not worth doing. Can anyone help advise?
I get the feeling I should be starting in Staveley due to better parking etc?

no work on Nan Bield this Sunday from what I could see !

Must be meaning Gatescarth pass, up graded a few years ago, as a descent pretty average now, fashionable to go over Harter fell and miss the hike up to nan bield, real men do the carry.

done the carry once! never again harter fell is the more bearable choice!

real men ride from nan bield summit to Haweswater, epic ,toptastic, techfest of a descent but only if your that way inclined .. 😉

I’m definitely that way inclined for techfest stuff! clockwise then.
Yes fergal, think that must be what I’ve read.
