1st December 2016 - High Cross, Hawkshead Hill for Grizedale

5 of us made it out for a dark sky ride on a cool evening but not freezing, George, Jamie, Grant, Phil and CT. Which route you ask, into the forest and lets find out, broadly uphill and tee off right then a little explore into then forest and through the trees and we found our way down to Bank Ground on the east side of Coniston, the worked our way back up to Lawson park, up to the top fire road and left along a bit then right and down the technical route towards the centre (we did not go all the way down). The others shot down while CT took it easy (back brakes need a bleed!) on the fire road turn left and take the reverse route as an early challenge back to the bottom of the NF towards Moor Top end, then we worked out way up and back to High Cross. Thanks to Jamie for yet again producing some tasty cake! we are just rubbish;) Georges jelly babies are also most welcome:)
Next ride Staveley, Barley Bridge , then meal likely 15th December
No ride pictures, but here's a few to brighten up the blog:
Always worth getting out for a ride
