Evening all,
Apologies if this has been asked before, i am looking to visit the Lake District at the end of July with a mate for some biking and a few beers.
We are good, experienced bikers with ah the gear and nae idea!!!
Seriously though, we are both experienced bikers and have a good level of fitness, i shall be upon my newly built Cotic Soul and neep heed will be over biked as usual on his Nomad. I intend to kick his ass all weekend, but after i have done that we require somewhere to wash, change and leave the bikes before partaking in a beer in a few public houses.
Anybody got any suggestions?
I originally thought Windermere, but on reflection it appears to be full of old duffers!
So where can we stay that is close to some good biking (any trail centres worth a visit?) and a few good pubs?
Thanks,
Mike.
Borrowdale, Keswick. I stay at the Chapel farm campsite in Rosthwaite. there are only a couple pubs but Keswick isn't too far away and a taxi between you all will be peanuts
A few pubs in Keswick then mate?
We do not have campsite accomodation though...
Plenty of pubs here.
B&Bs:

Some very good pubs in Keswick!
there are a few YHA's in the area too. I haev stayed at the Derwen****er one before which is nice enough.
Take a look at a B&B called Fairy Glen as we stayed last year and it was great.
