Is this really the BEST MTB SINGLETRACK in the UK?

While checking out more routes to ride close to home, I stumbled on a few videos titled "The Best Singletrack in the UK". Obviously this caught my attention, and I was pleased to discover that the trail from the videos (Rigg Beck) was fairly close to home. I had some doubts as to whether this really was going to be the best in the UK, but I thought there was no better way to find out than to ride it for myself! It was a pretty fun and flowy descent, starting and finishing in similar locations to the Stoneycroft ride from a previous video, but was it the best in the UK? I'll have to ride a lot more trails to find out... Hope you enjoy!

Another great video, I rode this a couple of weeks ago after coming down Sail and was blind the same as you. I followed your previous video and headed down Stoneycroft last week and I might get some abuse but think I enjoyed that decent better than Rigg Beck although it was a shorter. Keep the great clips coming fella.
@DistrictMountainBiker
@DistrictMountainBiker 4 года назад
Cheers 👍 I think I might actually agree with you in that regard, I think this one makes for a better video for some reason but I did like the speed of Stoneycroft 🤙

Enjoyed this one. It defintely looked like a good descent, however the best descent is a very competitive category indeed given the wonderful variety across the UK. Speak soon mate 🤙
@DistrictMountainBiker
@DistrictMountainBiker 4 года назад
Thanks mate! It was a pretty fun descent but I think weirdly it looks better on video than how it felt to ride, maybe just because I was very focused on staying on the trail which you don't have to think about while watching the footage!

@majsco1437 4 года назад
Thanks for the great vid! I've been eying this one up for a while now. Its length seems to be the strong point, there's not a whole lot of long single track with no gates in the lakes. Definitely not the best in the UK but maybe the lakes? It could make a good video series.
@DistrictMountainBiker
@DistrictMountainBiker 4 года назад
Glad you enjoyed! It's worth a visit that's for sure, like you say it did just seem to keep going! I've got so much more in The Lakes and further afield that I need to check out before I could really judge how good it is in comparison, but I do like that series idea. I'll have to look for more ride suggestions 👍

I'm sure it's fun to ride but it looks like it falls a million miles short of the loops in Torridon which have so much varied types of descent in them, some with huge boulder paths, other are super tight with deep drops on turns etc... The views in Torridon are also spectacular. Again, not to knock something that does look fun.
@DistrictMountainBiker
@DistrictMountainBiker 4 года назад
I'm on your side there, I'm yet to ride Torridon but definitely want to when we're able to get up there again. From what I've seen I imagine it'll soar to the top of my favourite rides list haha!

Another top video dude. That does look fun, those shale single tracks can be haaard 😳 your always waiting for the front wheel too wash out. You rode it well blind. Do you always record in 60fps, your vids are always super smooth. Keep up the good work. Stay safe. 🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice natural single-track to ride but not the best i would imagine many better in Wales and Scotland. On par with Minton Batch and Porlock Combe i would say but slightly longer

Extended version of the route here: ridewithgps.com/routes/6157819 Best to be safe and respect the terrain. It's not a trail centre where your generally no more than a few hundred meters from a fire road. Nice Route and thanks for the vid showing it.

Rode the linked route on Sunday and it's the reverse (Anticlockwise). Along the Lake.. up Newlands towards Keswick .. down Newlands.. then climb the decent you came down. Going up that decent wasn't fun. The decent in the other direction is actually pretty good though but a bit more Narrow than the other way.. to really get some speed up. Some really fun bits though that I'm glad i wasn't coming up. So yeah i'd say do the above route but do Rigg Beck and Newlands Clockwise same as you did.

Well got to say no...its not the best single track in the uk, average on a rating scale but an enjoyable run down nonetheless.

I see its a footpath not a bridleway, therefore not a legal right of way for riding. Discus........
