22nd January 2015 - Ings for Kentmere

Charlie, Neil, Grant, George, Jamie, Joel, Andrew and CT made it out, someone forgot their backpack and bike lights! but were saved by Neils new back up light so onward and upward! A little cold to start but the uphill warm up helped;) head up the lane north and onto the 3 rivers route, Andrew was keen to get back into MTBing after some summer road training! So a nice local ride to start, up three rivers and down into Kentmere, then over to Green Quarter, now there had been snow on the tops and it was ace riding conditions, just firm enough:) Charlie and Grant split off early, Andrew did HP and took the lanes back home and the rest continued after back up Brow foot and down past the farmers lane and end at the pub for a quick drink by the fire. Note:HP area has been felled so many trees are down, the bridleway is still there, but it looks different. Next ride from the lay-by near Gilpin Bridge

Local view of Grasmere, before night fell

Re-group time, snow line just starting

Enough hi-viz green;)

What ... a snow angel?

Great snow! nearly at the top
