Hi,

Can anyone recommend a 15-20km route as a stop off on the way to Scotland. I prefer AM/Light Downhill to XC so don't mind climbing so long as there is a good downhill as reward.

Hope you can help, many thanks.

Mike

If you want something easily accessible from the M6 on the way to Scotland then something into Kentmere starting at Stavely could be a good plan (especially with Wilf's cafe).

Good downhills from Garburn pass, Nan Bield, Gatesgarth and Sadgill at the North end of Kentmere.

Many thanks
