Hi

14 of us are planning a weekend trip to the Lake District late March

I've been before and ridden Whinlatter

Could anyone recommend some mtb friendly accomodation in the Keswick area? and, if possible, could anyone recommend a trail guide (if there are any) to show us the best trails in the area?

Thank You

What sort of riding are you looking for?

Also, what sort of accomodation. Bed n breakfast? Bunkhouse?

Sorry, should have stated that

B+B preferably, but would consider bunkhouse

We'll be riding short travel bikes (pitch pros, cannondale prophets, etc), we enjoy pedalling but really enjoy nice singletrack and dh orientated trails

Thank You
