7 Riders turned up for a warm ride following a blue sky day. Set off just after 7pm going in a clockwise direction of the usual route with some Jim style variations, variety being the spice of life!
Set off south on the youth hostel road past Fletcher's wood and take the right hand turn onto the bridgeway through the wood, uphill to High Park farm, along to Stang End, now turn left heading to Hodge Close, left (now east for a short climb) and Joels puncture stop, green inners and all = more bl**dy air! Then a few yards up the technical test and turn off to a quarry and down some slates paths, sounding like riding over broken china, heading to high Tilberthwaite and up the Knotts for a flap-jack stop. On up the track and a little de-tour to visit some caves (an old hunting ground of Jim's apparently) carry on down to slatter bridge and along to the ford, up the lane to Little Langdale and along to Dale End and the tricky rocky descent back to the road and Elterwater for a drink outside the Britannia Inn, eating toffee apples!!
Sorry No route plan this week, watch this space.
Next week a trip to Loughrigg, park at Pelter Bridge car park.
