The Borrowdale Bash - a classic north Lakes MTB ride. Mountain Biking in the Lake District 

Great to hear it. It's a good one 👍

Thanks mate

Thanks mate.

Thanks, it's a nice area to ride that doesn't get swamped with people

Thanks mate, just sub'd you and will check out your vids :)

Lakedistrictrider thanks mate, I really appreciate that. They are all a bit amateurish at the minute I’m still at the beginning of the filming my rides learning curve if you know what I mean

Awesome ride one of my favourite routes .love the rosthwaite decent @beardedvikingmtber I'm local I'll check out your vids pal .

knott 4me cheers buddy I appreciate that, like I said to the lakedistrictrider it’s still early days

Cheers mate. Yep, there were a fair few walkers about. Sometimes you get away with timings sometimes you don't 😀

It is a bit of a classic ride that one. Think the path you mean might be a footpath. I try not to ride them. I'm not massively against riding footpaths, but if I did ride them it's not something I would personally want to put in a vid on social media. Just a personal position.

Lakedistrictrider that’s interesting. The route I had picked was from lakesmtb.co.uk so assumed it was legit. Sad my the really technical rocky descent was swarming with walkers so we had to dismount, just means I’ll have to do it all again.

@@JWDTphotography that's a shame. The national parks are getting really busy this summer. If you can pick a midweek day you might stand a better chance of a clear run.

Hi, I've done it on full suspension and hardtail.

Thanks mate. I run tubes. Not converted to tubeless yet. Always a risk but I didn't get any flats that day.

@@Lakedistrictrider guess I'm taking the risk then haha. Cheers

@@elliotbentham1801 enjoy!

Thanks mate, yeah there are loads to go at. Grizedale Foest has a great selection of bridleways, Claife Heights also good. Kentmere area too. I have written a guidebook with routes of different lengths and grades. Might be worth checking out if you plan on doing a fair bit of riding in the Lakes. www.amazon.co.uk/Mountain-Biking-District-Cycling-Cicerone/dp/1852846445

A good way to start on Whinlatter

Thanks for getting the book, hope you enjoy it. It is a pretty well known route so there should be plenty of places online where you can find a description. I think Lakesmtb had it on their site at one time. Just watch out for those that take you over Walla Crag as that's a footpath 👍

@@Lakedistrictrider cheers. Ive found it. Its slightly different that the route you did but im sure ill suss it. Keep up the gd content 👌

Cheers mate

No, sorry. Its a well known route so should be easy to find elsewhere

@@louisnaum7722 cheers, 👍

Ha, could get a bit more spaghetti in there

Doesn't bother me mate, just bad timing not their fault. They have right of way anyway. I'm happy to wait. 👍
