Evening folks, 

Heading to Kewsick in a few weeks and fancy getting a evening ride in on the friday and then 2 full days after that.

How does this all sound? Owt i should avoid or am missing? 

 

Was thinking... 

 

FRI

Leaving work early to take advantage of the long evening, so something like...

1. Skiddaw and Ullock pike (obvs easy to do from Keswick)

2. Keppel cove and down Stick Pass (park at Patterdale, then drive back to Kewsick)

3. Blencathra and down to Scales Tarn then Scales - maybe a bonus Latrigg on the way home for the win

 

I have

 

Any other options on the way to Keswick from the east? 

 

SAT

Fancy heading up and over Griesdale Pike and then maybe one of these:

1. Ladyside Pike (looks to be a bit of a carry down at the start?), up whinlatter pass, Lord's seat, Barf, Whinaltter Garbonzo (is it open/ridable?)

2. Whiteside then Whin Ben (how techy?) probably back up newlands and down rigg beck

3. Crag Hill and Causey Pike (worth the effort? Or better to drop down to rigg beck and miss out causey pike?)

 

I did Hobcarton End the other week (ace) and have done Whitelees Pike a few times (also ace) 

 

SUN

Keen to turn sticks pass into a big day out...

1. Park at Brothers water, up to hayeswater, Angle Tarn, Boredale House, Patterdale, Kepple cove,  Sticks Pass (maybe too much)

2. Park at Patterdale, up Grisedale, up dolywagon pike (hmmm), along ridge and down sticks pass
