13th September 2012 - Satterthwaite

Grizedale route
George, Joel, Neil, Charlie, Grant and CT met up in the usual lay-by south of Satterthwaite village for a mystery ride into Grizedale, it was a little cold and felt like rain may fall, so the usual discussions of what to wear, too many layers as usual. We set off into the village and them did the south east bridleway before heading back to Breasty Haw (see map attached) Then the usual route, kinda, to find the Fox, here we decided to go south west down towards the visitor centre (VC) which means the rocky bouldering route that comes out by the VC, great fun if you could manage to keep going and wither not dab or not fall off! Then start up the fire road towards the NF, but keep going and go up the bridleway next to the black route finish, keep climbing, over a couple of junctions and head over to the tank tracks, but turn left and enjoy the descent down Moor lane back to the cars, less than 10 miles in the end, but plenty of smiles for the downhill. It warmed up fine in the end, nice mystery route finding type o'ride. Next week it's Elterwater, park on common.
