9th July 2015 - Troutbeck

5 of us met up at the bottom of Green Gate lane in Troutbeck, just near the church on the Kirkstone road, Grant, George, Jamie, Jo and CT. We headed to Limefitt and up the track to Garburn, then down to the road for a quick bit of speed, then left along the road where we saw a deer crossing the road, eye up a 4' metal rail fence and spring over it fairly easily, a bit like a perfect bunny hop...we wish;) now take the right gate through the field, cross the water and up onto the lanes and back into Troutbeck centre for Robin Lane and climb up to the seat viewpoint. Take a rest chat about route choice, but keep it simple after last week late ride, so down the fast track onto Holbeck lane and right to head down Wain lane, so George and Grant could enjoy the fast descent! pretty good, bouldery and overgrown at the bottom. Turn right on the road and back up the testing climb that is Mirk lane, but it was dry and actually climbable, just! then steady back to the lane and back up onto Robins lane, down through the village and take the track through Town End to get onto Ing Lane to pick up the Sam route to add a leg, now back to Limefitt and repeat the Garburn section down to the bottom and back to the cars nice and early, back home for Le Tour on catch up TV:)
Next ride is Walna Scar from Hummer lane, west of Torver.
