7 Riders braved the winter weather, wrapped up warm and set our navigation radar to autopilot and off we went. Head south down the hill from the Anglers Arms pub, take the first left along the B5278 for a few yards then tee off left to the glass works and onto the bridleway running north east parallel with the river Leven.
Then turn right and climb UP the tarmac section, past a 'S' bend and take a left turn on to a bridleway across to Canny Hill, down Crook Hill and over the road and up somewhere around Chapel House Plantation, we stopped for J&C's excellent choco' biscuits and continued down into Newby Bridge.
We then crossed the road and headed over and past the hotel and along the road past Lakeside taking a left turn to Finsthwaite and on up the hill to a bridleway near Finsthwaite House. Then enjoy a downhill section through woods at Wintering Park, I enjoyed so much that I got a puncture, well at least Joel wasn't there to shout 'tyre pressure' and luckily I was warmed up so at least my fingers could change the tyre and pump in some air! We then took a little used route running somewhat parallel to the railway line, or so it seemed in the dark and made it back to the cars in one piece. Well done to Grant for excuse of the year (so far), "I can't make it, my son is being born", Congratulations to all the family.
Next week we're at Ings for a blast round Staveley area.
