Thanks for sharing the .gpx file, I used it to do this ride yesterday. Christ, that push/carry up to the top of Boredale nearly killed me though. Good job it was a great descent other side. Cheers
The Super Crash Brothers your welcome mate. I will be sharing a trailforks link all the time now as not everyone has Strava premium. I will slowly add the links to previous rides for everyone to enjoy. 👊👊
Hey dude. Great video. We just did this route (posting to our RU-vid tomorrow) but backwards to how you did it. The pay off was sooo much better doing it backwards and the descents were EPIC. We did it on eBikes, and honestly I couldn't imagine doing it on a non eBike. Keep Shredding
Trail-Finder definitely recommend dude. We just posted part 1, which will show you some Gnar from the route. Skiddaw using the Ullock Pike descent is still our favourite route in the lakes, but the fun is in the searching right? 😀
Hi mate great ride, did part of it about 5 weeks ago started from Pooley Bridge must do it your way, on my ebike. You can enjoy going up as well as down at 74 I need all the help I can get.😊
You just have to look at my videos to see if it’s worth the money. I’d say yes defiantly worth it. I love the thing. New one is out in a month. So the 7 should be cheaper
Did the same ride a few years back (I got it off PedalNorth.com). The climb up the Knott is hard. I decided (stupidly as it turns out) to of taking the bridleway down the east shore of Ullswater instead of the suggested route through Boredale / Bordale Hause. The was a big mistake as that shore path is unrideible for long periods (I think the official terminology is "technical in nature". I intend to do it again some day but the way you went. Missed out on the lovely descent from Boredale Hause.
@@TrailFinderYou did make the right choice as I spent a lot more time walking and carrying the bike than riding it. It was made worse by me having a hardtail and not being the best rock garden rider.
Another ride we seem to have done about the same time. We dropped lucky with the weather on Easter weekend and had wall to wall sunshine. Was that traffic cone and men at work sign still up there when you went? Looking forward to watching all these again as winter closes in.
Beverley Mtb'rs no my bars are still green. I brought my french trip forward in my timeline to make it more relevant. As I have a 3 month backlog of videos. You would have been watching them in December otherwise. Next video is black bars then it’s green. I actually rode this ride on the 27th may
Wouldn’t recommend. The way I did it was very nice. Every ride I do I think about the reverse route. And I remember saying to my self. No. Although. Totally doable.
@@TrailFinder thanks for the reply, nice vid. I’ll be up in June. Last time I was up stopped in bowness and smashed a load of trails all around the Grizdale area some real epic stuff there, some stuff that doesn’t get mentioned much is just brilliant. Anyway my thoughts on the reverse were some of those downs look more rideable up than the hike a bike stuff difficult to see on videos but would any of the hike a bike bits be rideable down? No point I guess if you have to walk down.
I personally find most GPS devices to be inaccurate on both altitude and distance. Basically the polling rate is low to conserve battery hence its a series of waypoints with straight lines between them which will shorten the distance significantly depending on the terrain. You'll notice how it massively underestimates Whinlatter due to lots of tight fast switchbacks. If i take out my Ebike the distance matches the official distance as its measured accurately off wheel rotations of known diameter whereas all my GPS devices are anywhere from 10-25% under the actual distance. So riding my normal bike i know it's not correct distance wise (on the Ebike i can see exactly).. done Rigg Beck and Rannerdale the other week and i know its 22.4 miles.. GPS reckoned 17?. Altitude is simply fundamental errors in measurement.
@@TrailFinder What about distance.. I've not found a GPS that's accurate on anything other than long straight roads for biking... perhaps some have a high polling rate mode?
None are dead accurate. I can ride with a friend that was the 820 like me. With different results at the end. Just been on a local ride tonight. And used both the phone and the Garmin. iPhone miles: 14.44 total ascent: 885ft. Garmin miles: 13.75. Total ascent 781ft. That’s consistent with other rides I’ve done in the past running both devices. I’m not actually 2 bothered if the mileage is out a little. It’s all about the climbing for me. And when that is out I find it highly annoying.
Guttered... I rode this today, the opposite way round and used the route from pedal North website. Big mistake. Why oh why didn't I download the route from your strava.
