15th October 2015 - Satterthwaite for a ride round Grizedale

Quite a few turned up, Jamie and Jo M, Grant, George, Neil, Jamie, Phil and CT and we managed to park at the bottom of Moor Lane. We faffed about until it was getting dark ;) then off up the road to take the Bogle Crag route into the forest. It was a nice night just the right temperature, albeit we may have got a bit lost and the group split up for a little while and then re-grouped at the top of the Silurian Way. 
We then went past the Fox and down to the NF at Moor top and rode down the trail to the fire road, but not before George had a puncture, so a few minutes to fix that and only George had been thinking in the car about not having a flat for a while, Doh! then round the bonus loop and then rode the steep pitch to the next fire road, then down and looking for a route up, we found the old enduro trail a pushed up after the start technical step up, clean-able if you roll with some momentum;) Push up the steep bits, not sure I would like to ride down, but never say never!
Then we chatted at the seat before heading off up the trails and fire-road, past the black and along to find the top of Moor Lane, one wrong turn in the dark and we headed down and back to the cars, 9.30ish.
Next ride Pelter Bridge (probably)
