Soo was mooching around strava segment explorer around Whitehaven, any north lakes locals can give the low down on the trails near Wilton?

Cheers

You mean #BikeparkDent. Yeah it's a great wee local area. Been riding there for years. Lots of classic XC and forest trails, then there's been a new influx of young builders the last few years building more modern steep enduro stuff.

You could park up behind East Road Garage and ride up front there. It’s quite a nice decent to do at the end of a ride.

I haven't ridden that way for a few years - But there are definitely lots of options up Dent and around towards Ennerdale bridge. The Bway up from the garage takes you over a ford - always a wet/cold ride and more of an out and back with bits added on..
Nannycatch road takes you up to the Blakeley Raise stone circle . 🙂
