26th Augyst 2010 - Ings for Garburn

5 (Grant, Jamie, Neil, John and CT) met up near The Watermill at Ings, the rest were on holiday or out running (well done Charlie!) Having said that John turned up from Bardsea and he was on holiday! Usual route up Dubbs way, although JB and GA were looking at an alternative, but Neil was head down and already up the Dubbs route so we carried on, up Dubbs and onto Garburn, pause at the gate and head off for the testing climb, Grant led the way but dabbed at the first corner leaving the way for CT, who managed the first two corner sections before dabbing, JB came past and did well. We eased our way up to the top on a fine evening. It looks like there is an alteration to a path near the bridleway, perhaps to save some bog area. The downhill was great as ever, fun and games, with Neil having a second go at the rock garden and Grant laughing his way down. Now route up past Kentmere church and head to three rivers, getting dark so stayed along the top route (one river and a bog crossing!) then straight down the road avoiding mucky farm. JB rode home and the rest sampled some beer and crisps and discussed past years Scotland rides. Next ride is Barbon, park near the church.
