Already done Skiddaw Round and Borrowdale Bash. Anything else as good or better from Keswick?

Cheers

Done Hellvellyn all the way along the ridges back to Glenridding. Good challenge but not the best day for maximum time on the bike. Probably going to do the Altura with the girlfriend as an easier day. Looks like it's Skiddaw and Borrowdale figure of 8 at the moment.

Any more ideas?

starting keswick nip to braithwaite, startup the pass but turn off at first car psrk on left (bottom of grisedale pike) climb up the track to the left of gp to old mine, then up to the col (little carry) then staight over and descend down valley to top of crummock valley ( alittle cheeky)
option 1 this brings you out out ata relcassified bw that run along the wall to lorton. you ocme out a little way up the c2c route on teh pass climb this on the road you thn join main road for a couple of hundred metres turn left through gate and there are a couple of climbs that bring you out about 1/2 way round the north loop, ride north loop and south if you fancy it, take bw down to thornthwaite and back to keswick

option 2 nip onto road cross cattle grid and then a left to lanthwaite woods on a bw, down to kirkstile inn take vw up side of melbreak, another cheeky bit to get past waterfall fromm the top of the bw (the bw goes ovre into ennerdale) and onto bw along sde of buttermere, up the bw or over honister on the road and down castle cragg to grange and side of catbells (last 1\3 of the bash)
