Does anyone have any info on what conditions are like on the lakes currently? Don't mind sticking to a lower level ride but not keen on driving 1.5 hrs to push the bike around due to snowy trails - I can stay local and do that!
Snowlines about 200m, low level might be ok as it's only just laid the last day or two.
We are looking to go there tomorrow as well, 1.5hrs for us as well
Doing a Bothy ride tomorrow to Mosedale there is a lot of snow about on the tops above 200m as above below that it is pure filth on the trails 🙂
Low level rocky trails may well be fine- however, forecast is freezing and the snow we have is wet at low-mid levels, so ice may develop overnight and tomorrow.
Thanks all, we've decided to give it a whirl, worst case we can retire to the pub.
I suppose it depends where in the Lakes you are headed. Anything from Ambleside over to Elterwater, Claife and Grizedale should be doable. Going up top may be dicey.
Will find out tomorrow if up top is dicy 🙂
