As we won't have time to nip in to the dales centre for local knowledge when we go up, what's the best loop you'd recommend setting off from reeth? Wouldn't mind some meaty, technical descents

Park in Fremington opposite my house (big yew trees lol), up Fremington edge, follow edge along and drop down to Langthwaite, head down road to Reeth a bit then turn left round the back of calver hill, pick up little walled rocky lane down into Reeth via wooden hand gate off the moor. Couple of hours. Depends how big a route you want!?

If you're short on time for advice stu at DBC sells waterproof route guides you could very quickly pick up? Waterproofing may be a key feature for today......

Couple here if you're in a hurry. Not sure about meaty and technical, for the most part, but little rocky sections here and there - the drop off Fremington, the drop into and the run out of Gunnerside Gill.

DBC would still be a worthwhile stop-off for advice on local tech.
