27th September 2007 - Staveley Green quarter and 2 rivers

6 met up at Barley Bridge, even Phil turned out to say hello, although he was on his 'Surly' and not going off-road on it. We set off all bright and cheery north up Hall Lane to go past Staveley Head Fell, we carried on to Green quarter to check if those dogs were still around! The climb is quite tricky especially as this was the first real night ride. At the road we headed down to Kentmere and took in a little technical tree route to test nagigation and skill. Onward and up past Kentmere hall past Mould Rigg and Whiteside End to the gates at the top, then down to the fords, these were passable with care, the waters getting cold this time of year. Down to Croft Head, right at Ullthwaite bridge and herd those sheep to Browfoot, back onto the tarmac lane and a freewheel race back to the cars, OK so there was some peddling as well. Lights all tested OK (Charlie get that cable connection sorted out!) now ready for Barbon next ride, being the 4th October.
