This is Lake District mountain biking away from the centre. Lots of steep climbing that doesn't give in. Every descent is different. Loose stones, fast grass, tight through bracken, technical roots and chutes, drops to the side and long brake melters. Amazing views to the big mountains of the eastern lakes. Can be exposed in sections if weather is strong so go prepared or wait for a better day.
