15th November 2012 - Pelter Bridge, Rydal

4 turned up - Charlie, Jamie, Grant and CT - and parked at Pelter Bridge car park (NB; very dark no lights, so watch the pot-holes et al), we were heading for the coffin route, so cross the main road and head up Rydal Hall, left at the top, this route is steady to start with some technical challenges, tree roots, wall gaps and rocks, good stuff perhaps a tad tricky in the damp but warm conditions, virtually tropical for mid-November so no need to holiday abroad:). The route ends up at White Moss and you can get through to Red bank via a bridleway and one river bridge crossing, it looks like this route may have been and old route up red bank as it seems easier than the road, at least by bike. Then over to Elterwater and a quick lap of the quarry then back via the river route and back up and around Loughrigg by red bank, enjoy the descent back to the cars. Next ride is Satterthwaite for a route in Grizedale. Edited due to flood issues so Grizedale postponed to another date. Enjoy the Kendal Mountain Festival if you are going.
