4 of us met up on the common car park, after a little bit of driving around each other car parks to see if anyone else had turned up! Ian, Grant, Jamie and CT made it. Not a bad evening, so start up the tarmac and onto the bridleway section up to the hostel, then enjoy the descent down the side of Loughrigg Terrace, past the caves and round to Rydal and then along the road by the river Rothay. Now a heading climb up the road to get to Loughrigg fell, steady work to the top, re-group and blast down the other side, it's all fairly smooth now, watch out for the man and dog, through the gate and over the rock slab, down and tootle round the tarn, back via the road (gardens closed form maintenance) and then down the final bridleway, note some ice forming on the timber bridges, care required, back to cars to change. No pub, next ride Troutbeck, park by river lay-by before church.
