The Four Passes | Lake District Mountain Biking At Its Best 

The lakes is just an amazing place to be, regardless of activities but some decents look 😮scary😅when i did the gravel epic, that was mind blowing and the weather was typical lake district weather, rain 😂😂😍👊stay safe and sound mate

What an epic ride that was, it looked like extremely hard work on those descents, i think my arms would of dropped off haha, that's proper hiker bike, definitely a few wow moments in this one, fantastic video 👍

Jesus, my toes curled all the way through, I'm scared of heights and go pro actually made you realise how steep the downhill was and going right on the edge. Very brave. Gorgeous views mate x

That has to be your gnarliest challenge yet!

….Brilliant video Andy …..what a place to ride . I love the sheer exposure on some of those trails when you know too much speed and lack of concentration could cause disaster ……but to have that vista in front of you ….as you said Wow ! I’m not so sure I’d enjoy carrying the Levo on some of those hike a bike bits 😂 . Well rode mate ….it was great to meet you last week on Jason’s ride

Brilliant vid! My shoulders couldn't cope with that now. Great to watch 👍

I have to say Andy, that’s got to be my favourite video that you’ve made mate, I know some people are a bit anal about long videos but as far as I’m concerned, bring them on especially when they’ve got this kind of content, I’m not scared of heights but some of near vertical drops right by your side made me a little anxious, I think you’d make a superb MTB guide because your knowledge of the Lake District and Peak District is faultless, keep up the great quality buddy 👊

I do miss living in Ambleside. Some amazing riding.

Epic! Scenery does all the talking Mate. 👍

That was absolutely unbelievable! I’m gonna say better than anything I’ve ever seen or ridden! Tempted to bunk off work and ride it ! Well done to you both for that upload!!

Fantastic, I've got to go up there one day and do two or three of those passes!

Fantastic riding mate, like most of your viewers, it’s a watcher not a doer. 👍

Wow, this looks like an epic all day ride, saving it for summer!

Another great route & vid, thanks again for the .gpx, looking forward to giving this one a go. Mind you I have such a heavy eMTB I would struggle to shoulder it on some of those climbs, so might have to rethink; pity as the descents look great. Cheers

Fantastic effort! I’ve hiked most of this lot over the years and it’s tough enough walking. Excellent 👌

Superb footage..you put the work in on that one, top riding bud.

Wow can't believe that ive only just stumbled to this vid absolutely mtb at its best ive hiked haystacks the first descent then do the styhead to seathwaite farm. They are a good hard hike let alone biking them great effort and brilliant vid mate 👍

That is definitely one of the top rides in England and the UK !!!!! You should be well pleased with your riding particularly that last descent !! Thanks for some great filming as well....quality and content!!!!

Amazing channel! This kind of riding is my dream. Gotta take a trip here. Thanks, great videos.

Love wainwright's favourite lake, Buttermere and the hay stacks on your left, fantastic views boys😀👍❤️🇬🇧

How the heck you did those descents God only knows, you must have arms of steel! But fantastic scenery. I think that Rick guy is a robot

Some nice controlled riding on Warnscale

Fantastic video once again Andy

What an absolute banger Andy .. two of my youtube stalker victems ;) and a right good vid of the 4 pass challange . Thank you

Brutal !!! Well done !!!

Epic, vid, ride and scenery, but much too hard evan downhill so I'll stay on the setee and watch rarther than in the saddle, great viewing as always.

Never fancied it but looked epic. Really nice looking Yeti too :)

Outstaning mate!! Hopefully i can do this one on a crisp clear winters day!

Great job on the vid really captures the day 👍

That was a helluva' effort! Awesome riding and vid.

Amazing views!

Looks an absolute beast of a ride. Stunning scenery all of the time. The hike a bike sections looked grim, don't fancy lumping my 15kg bike up some of those climbs, but worth it in the way down I guess

45 minutes mate... and yet I was engrossed from start to finish. Absolutely epic mate, video and ride. Warnscale has been on my list for a long time and this has cemented that it's got to be done. I've done Black Sail years ago, thought the top was a bit crap and the bottom half amazing (I was on a Santa Cruz Chameleon with box section chainstays though) and have pushed up Sty Head, remember thinking that it wouldn't be all that as a descent because of the rocker dockers. Would be better than what we did do that day though, which was try and ride down Rossett Ghyll. Never, EVER, try to ride down Rossett Ghyll. You know the problem with all this riding you are doing in the Lakes is, don't you? The Dales are going to seem far too tame 😃

Fantastic ride what a great video too thank you for sharing fantastic views Ps, on your malam video you went via the bottom of Ingleborough do you have a komoot gpx for that ride ? There is a strava and trailforks gpx but I'm not premium where as komoot iam I can forward my details etc if your OK about sharing the file Thanks keep up the great work

looks amazing again but wouldnt really wanna be dragging my norco up some of those cliffs lol

Big Balls and Skill Lads Grate Video

That’s one epic ride, well done Andy and Rich 👍 Some of those drops looked a little scary. If I was a bit younger 😅

😮😮😮 Awesome!

Amazing ride Andy. A little above my skill level i think but fantastic scenery

epic vid that matey

This looks brutal but epic

awesome is an often over used word. fully justified for this video though. cracking route.

Wow

As you were doing the first descent it looks quite close to the edge, how aware of that were you? Sometimes I watch videos where it looks quite close and perilous, but when you're actually on it the path is wide enough for it not to bother me - what did that feel like Andy?

This looks amazing. Would you say the hike a bike is do able with an E bike. I have dragged my E bike up dolly wagon pike which was a killer but it was do able.

Fuck that last descent 🤣 42:26

Love all your videos and your type of riding matches mine - just getting out there in the wild! I've retired and I'm looking to move to get closer to where I can ride and walk. My wife loves the Dales and your videos have convinced me that this might be the place. If you could live anywhere to best indulge your sport straight out the door and convenient for Lakes, Dales and N. York Moor, where would it be? Started looking from Skipton to Penrith and Harrogate to Richmond. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Which Garmin do you use for routes?

Your best yet Andy. I've walked most of that route, on separate occasions, over the years and know how rough it is in places. The idea of doing it on a bike just doesn't appeal to this old fart!

Could I ask please which Garmin mount you're using here that allows for the Exposure light in front? I used to mount my Garmin on my stem but it no longer fits there when I have the Exposure light fitted. Cheers!

Which garmin navigator you using andy
