It was decided by the riders to complete a local ride rather than Ribblehead. Charlie, George and Stephen met at Yealand Conyers and set off along A6 turning right onto Tarn lane through Burton to meet Paul at the bridleway to the fell. We followed bridleway until after the fourth gate where we met a track and continued left over the fell and up to the trig point. From here we went down the west side of the fell and transversed back to the main track. Here we found signs on the gate stating no cycling or horse riding and warning us there are no bridleways on Farelton Knot (suspect this means the NT areas at northwest end, albeit have been used by locals for last 30 years or so). We proceeded back down the hill towards the main bridleway which is sign posted at the road. Paul took the wrong route and had to come back to join the other riders. Before proceeding back down the bridleway we decided to have a look at the path on the Hutton Roof side of the road but it was decided to give this a miss due to it being over grown. So it was a fast trip back via the bridleway to Burton road. From here Paul went home and the remaining 3 riders travelled back to Yealand via a bridleway off Clawthorpe road to Vicarage Lane Burton. From Yealand this was 16.5 miles and a bit more for Charlie back to Warton.
Next ride Winster (park by church)
