last night in ambleside tomorrow so thinking of this as a short blast. Is the decent along the ridge any good? Thinking about doing this tomorrow evening, either riding up to the kirkstone pass and hiking or up past Swedish bridge.
Any other options from Ambleside for getting high with about 2 hours to spare.
Ride up past swedish bridge get ready for a bit of hike a bike the FP descent is great its a 2hr ride for us on our wednesday night rides!
What's the hike from kirkstone pass like? Might be able to get dropped up there.
That looks brutal from the inn - good luck with that one.
change of plan, got dropped at hawkshead, did Iron Keld, back through chapel stile, elterwater and over loughrigg terrace into ambleside.
you've got some proper grumpy walkers round here...
Grumpy walkers are like the grumpy bikers - on holidays. Cumbrians are without exception pleasant, charming and polite.
Now p15s off home.

I wasn't even riding cheeky. I was looking at my map to work out where I was next to a footpath sign and she had a right pop at me.
Back to dartmoor tomorrow morning
Mate of mine was attacked by an old lady with a walking pole once on Loughrigg Terr. I still chortle now thinking about his face. 🙂
Surprised we didn't see you today Jambo given your route! All the walkers we saw were mighty nice, but then we missed out Loughrigg ... 8)
P.s. Just watched the UKGE vid & thought exactly that... Using all yours & Sharki's tracks of old!
Back to the West Country it is...
best bit of today was the rocky DH run down towards elterwater quarry. got a bit wild through there and backed off as I was on my tod.
favorite find of the week was a strava segment called flow. top 10 place... 8)
