http://www.flickr.com/photos/71958789@N00/4536856669/

you can expect 20 ish miles and 4000 ish feet of climbing and a cracking ride .

weather permitting we are doing it on friday all be it very slowly due to lack of bike riding and too many pies N Pints

oh yeah, anyone know where this is?

it must be on the fells above the south end of Derwent Water. Just looking at the map now...

.. I think it's Bleaberry Fell NY 278 202

If you have the weather, probably one of the most memorable days you will ever have on a bike.

oh yeah, anyone know where this is?

That's coming down Ullock Pike - with Bassenthwaite below and Barf / Whinlatter in the distance.

Coniston from Parkamoor. Cracking area to ride a bike.

I got one just like that, but with added snow 😉

Try again, apols.

Did the Coniston - Grizedale - Parkamoor - Blawith - Seathwaite - Walna Scar loop on Sun.

I didn't expect it to be this rocky! Bits of the trail, especially down Walna Scar and into Seathwaite, were like riding in a gravel pit, except the bits of gravel were torso-sized! Not sure if that's rideable...! Also I did not expect the c.90 minute hike up Walna Scar out of Seathwaite...anyone here ridden that (and lived)? Got nicely lost on the fells after Blawith, glad I'd recently bought a simple GPS device otherwise I'd have been ****ed. What else, oh yeah, cheers for the tip on here about the descent to Stephenson Ground along the gorge, great stuff cheers

So a mixed bag really, great scenery and some awesome trails, but too much pushing/impassable rocky terrain (c50%), I was craving a nice wooded singletrack with berms etc. by the end although I know that's not in the spirit of things. some awesome terrain out there.

Apols, third time lucky, edited preceding post

Looks good mate. I'm assuming you got lost around here :-

Dont sweat it. I have never got it right in about 4 attempts.
