You legend! Good work, that man! It would be great if we could get a big bunch of forumites to come along and make this happen.

Excited!

Cheers

@binners

How did you get on with your mate? Do you reckon we can make a forum ride happen for an article?

Cheers

Sanny

Looks like I can't get a loan of the fatbike I was hoping for. ☹

I was chatting to someone recently - and frustratingly I can't recall who it was - who said there'd very recently been a guided horse ride from Arnside to Kent's Bank

We're actually going up in a couple of weeks to do a guided walk, I can try to have a chat and get some contact details for you if you like @Sanny

Re: hosses the reason the routes are there at all is because they were old coach routes. Hence they're marked as bridleways. Not without its dangers, there's a grave in St Marys church in Ulverston containing two brothers that got stuck back in 18something-or-other and drowned. True fact.

The Bay Horse pub at Canal Head, Ulverston has a sign on the wall explaining about the coach crossings back in the day. Not so many signs about how the canal was used for (amongst other things) importing slaves...
