Thursday Night riders turned out for a starry night ride, we crossed Barley bridge and took the first bridleway on the left about a quarter of a mile from the bridge and proceeded down easy tracks past Scroggs Farm until we came to some house near Elfhowe where the ascent started only Jamie cleared it. Chris was having gear problem and Grant, myself and Ian just did not make it. We then joined the Staveley Head Fell road and turned left off the road which took us over the fell and down through the plantation. Grant was wowing at his newly serviced bike and the fact that the suspension actually worked. We turned left and then right over the bridge and left again on the bridleway to Browfoot which has now been covered with tarmac hence spoiling what was once a technical climb. We then continued up and over the fell taking the three rivers route back to Barley Bridge.
Next week it's Elterwater.
