If it's great, which it looks to be, and as you say, cheeky, why publish it on an internet forum?

Because I had a great ride and thought it would be a nice way to share some of the karma with other like minded individuals.

I have no idea what APF means.

I'd say that's near to Knighton Mid Wales.

I may have riden it, it looks very familiar.

Looks Welsh to me, maybe Abergavenny black mountains, is that Sugarloaf and Pen Cerrig-calch in the background?

Wild guess mind you ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I think I've been there - walking - did a 15 Peaks challenge - just to the north and east of Manchester...the top of that climb leads out to a major boggy walk with very little way of showing a trail...cracking walk on a dry day but would be real grim in wet weather...

Can't for the life of me recall what it was called - we camped at the bottom of that glen for the overnighter...

Bottoms I think I do know this...there is a well known 'peak' something cross near it (well a few miles away)...

Clearly Swinley, in the nifty little hidden bit round the corner from the Labyrinth.

The pics are from different places - pic 1 is Gasgale and pic 2 is Rigg Beck.

Just around the corner for me, but neither trail can take lots of riders, so mums the word.

Hope you had a good one Lowey - one alternative to that Sail Beck / Rigg Beck return journey...if you head up the pass on the road, duck off left at the top, up Knott Rigg and over Ard Crags; there's a great descent off the end.

Gasgale gill is quite badly damaged/washed away on the buttermere end and involves so scrambling with the bike to pass through it ๐Ÿ˜‰ not for everyone me thinks, take care.

ANC is right, proper tasty. First time I've been scrambling with a bike on my shoulder.

Parked... walked that ridge years ago and it was lovely, but the ST down Rigg beck was on my "to-do" list for this year. It didn't disappoint.

Funny, there's trails like that all over Scotland. All legit, and therefore without all the "ooh you can't tell anyone about that and annoy the walkers" ๐Ÿ˜€

Its the Cannock Chase in 20 million years, when the continental plates have pushed North.
