Twas a nice ride!
Nice that - where is it?
Looks like Was****er - am I right?
It's Crummock Water in the bottom, the top picture shows Skiddaw from Coledale Hause. I claim my prize.
Which descent have you done, I hope you did Wandope and Whiteless Pike to get back down? Unfortunately you're not the first to ride those mountains, sorry! I grew up in that sunset in your last picture.
The summit you're on is Grasmoor isn't it?
Yes it is Grasmoor Paul, did you ever ride down from the summit? Its pretty mental!
Stoney - we went over Hopegill Head and tried dropping off the end of Whiteside last night. Fun but I don't think I'll be trying that one again 😯 Are you riding over the weekend ?
Whiteside I steep, I've not tried it but I would expect less than half of it to be rideable?
Which way off Grasmoor did you go, the only route down to Crummock I've done is via Wandope and Whiteless Pike, those are two briliant descents, but they can be very tricky if its windy as you get a gusty cross wind that makes it very difficult to pick your line.
Did you ride off via Lad Hows? Looks like that could have some potential, but ti's one of those that is difficult to justify, if you already know a cracking route off so I've never done it. You know what I mean, you spend an hour and a half slogging up Gasgale Gill and you don't want to risk the effort on something that might only be 50% rideable, so you go safe. Let me know what its like if you did it!
