29th November 2007 - Staveley around Green Quarter

5 met up at Barley Bridge and discussed the route choices, someone raised the Stile End to Sadgill rocky route or perhaps cut out some of the climbing and head along Cocklaw Fell, but this maybe boggy someone said....so anyway we headed up Hall Lane, left across the field before Stavely Head, down through the 2 streams, along past Green Quarter (a couple of dogs barking a friendly hello!) on up High Lane and right up Stile End, here goes (first battery gave up, 3 more just in case!) it's a rocky path but not too bad, once at the top, the rocks get larger and it becomes a challenge, again it was do-able, just! At the gate someone decided to tee off along the fell 'cause it was heading for a late one, so off we went just to see how boggy it could be....? and the answer is boggy, the idea is to let someone else ride in front to test the water so to speak, but Grant and George kept coming off, so what can you do! but plough on literally. Anyway we eventually got back to Hall Beck and headed back to the cars, a little damp but all OK after our expedition, basiclly it may be worth trying the route at a dryer time (when ever that maybe). Next ride is Elterwater for Loughrigg, unless we decide to divert!???
