From the parking at Maggie's Bridge, follow the lonely valley of Mosedale up to a push past Floutern Tarn. Be aware that in anything but dry conditions this can be boggy! A great descent drops you down to Ennerdale, where hilly single-track lanes bring you back through Lamplugh to some fine high level riding above Holme Wood and Loweswater and a steep old mine track descent to finish.
