19th January 2017 - Grasmere - Elterwater - Little Langdale

It was warm enough for some mud but that did not stop one fat bike from turning up;) Joel, Jamie, Charlie and CT met up at Grasmere. It was a still night and warmish, how do we know it was warm... 'cause JP was down to his T-shirt in no time;) We headed south on the road for a warm up then crossed over and through the trees to the bridge, right and over the beach then up the bank for the route up along red bank, then round the back of hammerscar plantation, which gives a nice testing climb and then a sweet descent onto Elterwater common. Through the village around to the slate quarry, up the hill and over to the ford, over the bridge, turn left and past Stang End, down through the plantation and back to Elterwater, up the tarmac climb and pause for some slated cashews, thanks Charlie! Back down the bank and over to white moss, keeping and eye out for shipwrecks! Then up onto the coffin route and back to Grasmere, just over 12 miles, no snow, all good:) 
Next ride Haverthwaite (park near Anglers Arms)

It wasn't quite sea worthy

Nearly there!
