I've a holiday booked with mates in the Kentmere valley nr Staveley. I've done a lot of riding in the more obvious areas around Coniston, Grizedale, Ambleside etc but would like to know some good riding routes right out the door from where we are staying in the Kentmere.
I've ridden Garburn Pass but just over it and back, must be some good longer rides to incorporate it into.
Ta in advance!
There is lots of good riding from there.
Check out Wheelbase, they do route cards, as do Wilf's Cafe. Don't forget to visit the Hawkshead Brewery while you are there.
Two routes on the Sam Houghton Challenge, website;

Have fun!
Cheers PTR!
I did a great route yesterday and I've got a gpx file of something vaguely similar I can e-mail to you if you like.
