I did not make it to Elterwater and I am not sure who did, tell you what add your name and a comment and we'll soon have a storey.....
Or read the following from George:
Following a very wet day 7 riders George, Neil, Paul, Jamie, Ian, Grant and Chris M turned up at the car park at Elterwater for dry start. Turning left and right out of the car pack up the tarmac lane and then taking the track on the right leading down to the river then everyone cleared the first climb to the quarry. Then following the bridleway to the very steep technical climb which no one managed to clear but Jamie and Chris making the best efforts. We then procceded over to High Tilberthwaite, then left to the playground, then right Hodge close, now head along the lanes to Iron Keld. Climbing the long rocky track to the junction for High Arnside Grant unfortunately had a fall on the rocky section and we were notsure which hurt most his head or his pride I think it was the former. Making the climb up to High Arnside then to enjoy the great downhill to the Skelwith Bridge to Consiton road. Here we turned right and then took a left in about a mile to join the sustrans 37 route back to the car and the pub just as the rain came down. We had chips but the landlord was not too pleased about us sitting on his chairs in our cycling clothes
Next ride is Askham for a little bit of High Street, enjoy.
