Guess what we’re doing this evening 😀

Somewhere in the Lakes on a narrow piece of singletrack….. 😉

That last one is a superb piece of trail. We were hoping to do it this weekend but the snow said no.

Aye, the weather wasn’t the best for high up adventures. I didn’t fancy the High Street stuff in the absence of a good avalanche report.

I still need to ride the 4 passes. All we need is a little bit of Spring weather!

Nick – seen as you owe me a trail ;0 is that langdale at the top of your first pic? and where oh where is that final one? Completely stumped…

This thread is rapidly becoming my route guide for this year!

I did the four passes a few years ago but I need to go back, and some of these are new to me and I’m getting the urge to ride them!

The pictures they don’t show you!

Pass Storming in the Lakes by jamie_mtb, on Flickr

Ain’t a proper day in the mountains if you don’t have the bike up on your shoulder at some point! 😀

Yet we keep on doing it!

parkedtiger, it’s going to snow. Snow lots, you’ll be stuck in your carpark and I’ve already been out today. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.

Are you riding at the weekend, I’ll be up.

David

yep top one is Rossett Ghyll into Langdale.

last one is on B, which is next to S 🙄

Bonus Pass storming

Ace thread, need to tick off some more of these.

Right. Where’s the third pic taken then Nik?

Sanny – watcha old chap.

its on Cadair Idris, North Wales..

I like being here.

Torridon

Coming down the route we are looking up to is very good 😀

Torridon

Ciaran path

Ciaran path

The hike up to the bealach on the “alternative” Torridon route I would think this ticks the pass storming box! Was a proper ride put together from a previous trip a path in the distance an OS map and a strong urge to return!

Torridon decent to Goulags / Achnashellach station

final decent of the day dropping down to the the Torridon hotel for a pint

One day I will get to Torridon.

Chamonix is closer to me though!

Awesome pics guys!

A proper two to those that set that say the UK is flat and boring… 🙂

gaick

A great thread of photos. Inspiring for if I ever shift this cold….

Brilliant pics .. I need to get up some big hills again, been years since I did anything like this in the UK.

Hi Paul – the snow only added to the fun coming off Whiteless on Saturday. Lots of slippyness on Walla and Catbells last night though 😀

Not sure if I’m out at the weekend yet – will Skype you if I hear of any rides though.
