Going to centre Parcs at Winfell next week with the extended family, any recommendations on routes nearby assuming I get. Couple of hours to myself and my Whyte ๐Ÿ˜€

Remember I'll be full of turkey and sprouts so nothing too epic....

It's pretty muddy and pastoral adjacent to whinfell, but a 10 min drive to [url= http://www.bing.com/maps/?lvl=13&cp=54.6061133574746~-2.75544841191164&FORM=MMREDR ]Askham[/url] and you can criss cross the fell (Moor Divock etc) to Pooley Bridge and Ullswater.

Will be taking the Pig and big locks
What's the deal with bike storage? Is it just a case of locking them up inside / outside somewhere?

Going to be there next week. If anyone else and fancies a ride, get in touch.

there used to be a back entrance and you can do a limited loop, nothing too exciting but better than being trapped in there

its a shame they don't but in a pump track and a small skills circuit but I imagine they are scared of all the hire bikes getting trashed

Bikes do go missing, I would avoid leaving anything interesting outside and lock it up inside your lodge, not that that offers much more protection ๐Ÿ˜‰

Not sure if they still do, but years back CP customer services (guy was a fellow mtber on reception)gave me a key to borrow to a gate alongside one fence, which lead to a few zig zaging trails, nothing mad, but fun to ride.

My son just got a bike with pedals for Christmas - if we can just refine his use of the brakes whilst we are there, that will be a success. I can practise wheelies, manuals, bunny hops etc - the usual Dad's showing off stuff!!
