Somewhere in the Lakes on a narrow piece of singletrack..... 😉
That last one is a superb piece of trail. We were hoping to do it this weekend but the snow said no.
Aye, the weather wasn't the best for high up adventures. I didn't fancy the High Street stuff in the absence of a good avalanche report.
I still need to ride the 4 passes. All we need is a little bit of Spring weather!
Nick - seen as you owe me a trail ;0 is that langdale at the top of your first pic? and where oh where is that final one? Completely stumped...

This thread is rapidly becoming my route guide for this year!
I did the four passes a few years ago but I need to go back, and some of these are new to me and I'm getting the urge to ride them!
The pictures they don't show you!

Ain't a proper day in the mountains if you don't have the bike up on your shoulder at some point! 😀
Yet we keep on doing it!
parkedtiger, it's going to snow. Snow lots, you'll be stuck in your carpark and I've already been out today. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.
Are you riding at the weekend, I'll be up.

yep top one is Rossett Ghyll into Langdale.

The hike up to the bealach on the "alternative" Torridon route I would think this ticks the pass storming box! Was a proper ride put together from a previous trip a path in the distance an OS map and a strong urge to return!

Hi Paul - the snow only added to the fun coming off Whiteless on Saturday. Lots of slippyness on Walla and Catbells last night though 😀
Not sure if I'm out at the weekend yet - will Skype you if I hear of any rides though.
This thread just keeps getting better and better! You can keep your trail centres, I'll just take a big mountain pass 😀
Hi all
Can you post where the pics are taken?
Makes life easier.
Mine are Blencathra, Beinn Eighe, on the way to Whiteless Pike, Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers.
More to come!
Cheers
Sanny 😀
Oh and Ullock Pike!
insprational - we are doing the Braemar/Aviemore loop later this year can't wait.
Can you post where the pics are taken?
Ok.

Are you doing Burn Tod as a push up and ride down or as part of a loop?
We went up Great Sca Fell, over Knott to the col and then down Burn Tod. The really good bit of the trail is above the marked bridleway. That said, its 6 years since i took that pic (classic dry Easter of 2007) and I haven't been back since, so have no idea what its like now.
Burn Tod is best from High Pike, past Lingy hut and over Knott.
Not at the moment though.......
