5 met up at Askham, Charlie, Grant, Jamie, and the Chris's; Grant had a new bling gold Hope evo 2 wheel...but it was not made up and still in a box, so he had to make do with the old lop-sided one for now. Head south out of Askham, thru Helton, then tee off right for Cockle Hill and the bridleway up onto Loadpot hill, steady away, even though a little damp, grip was OK for a steady climb, just watch out for sheep ticks! Once at the top of loadpot you get onto the High Street, great views (see pics). From here it's down the high street, detour off to Arthurs pike and follow the track downhill, this gets very fast, if a little lumpy to start, all we could hear was Grant doing his jester impression! Past the cockpit and keep going (mostly) downhill to Askham. This ride gives great descents, after a little climbing to start and great views around. Next ride Sedbergh.
