That one brought back some memories. Used to live up that way and the descent by the river after the Walna Scar road was a regular. Haven't ridden in about ten years but I've got a Canyon coming in a few weeks and I'm itching to get out......the wait for the new bike is killing me!!
@@stephenbrown5844 unfortunately not....the delivery kept getting knocked back by a month. After three months and still no firm date I cancelled and got myself a Giant Trance X. Loving it!! 👌
Another fabulous video. You deserve a lot More subs. It’s alway entertaining. This really brightened my day up more than you’ll ever know. Thankyou. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Andy and what a loop; there were a few bits that I haven't done, that I will definitely be sniffing out now. We have always started from Torver and finished with Walna Scar Pass but as that is sanitised beyond belief nowadays and most definitely NOT worth the effort of the climb, I have been pondering what alternatives are available, and I think you've just shown me them 👍
@@ashleyscarth8363 It's not that bad, as long as you keep your speed up (I was going quite slow on Christian's bike because of the snow and wind). There's one massive drainage ditch which is nasty - you need to basically do a massive bunny hop and hope for the best - but the rest is just rough. I still reckon that the bridleway from Grisedale Tarn down to Patterdale is the best bridleway I've ridden. Sticks is ok but you lose a lot of height descending Raise, which isn't the best. There is another (cheeky) option that cuts off Sticks which is fantastic, but I couldn't possibly comment on that 😂
5tens are great for walking in mind man. Cleats are right in a recess so they don’t really feel like clippys when you hobble about. Great vid man. Big fan. 🤘🏻
@@TrailFinder tried contacting you via Instagram, but not sure you ever received the message? I'm wanting to do a good 15 mile loop in the North Yorkshire Area this Friday for my birthday, wondering if there's anything you would recommend, as your deffo in the know! Something off-road, nice long & techy, but not bike park.. just countryside like your videos, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I originally though the Nidderdale loop, but is that long enough, If you're off work feel free to join us! Thanks in advance. (Im based Otley way, so not too far) thanks in advance!
@@MrJustin8912 you could do the nidderdale loop and add the Kirkby malzead loop onto it. Should give you a full day out. Another fav of mine in the dales is my pen y Ghent ride. All the 3 rides and the gpx files can be found if you scan through my vids
Trail Finder general, great ride and views, some sketchy sections on this one, never heard as many F-bombs from you before 😉. Audio was bang on and captured those rocks and fist sized boulders superbly.
Drank 2.5 litres this day. Without the weight penalty. Why would anyone want all that water and weight sloshing around on there back. Great buy. Love it
Seems we are doing more lakes routes this year so far, certainly opened my eyes up to the terrain for riding. Scary quite often with Jason leading the blind 🤣 Great video 👍🏼
@@TrailFinder put it this way currently out only choice of venue to ride is the lakes 👍🏼 I love it, much prefer the big adventure style rides currently than messing around on off piste trails in some woods. So yep, love it 😁 been great as also allows me to go down memory lane having lived in Rydal as youth.
definately a full face and protection route if you`re a solo rider. some of the climbs are an e-bikers dream. going up to do skiddaw route nx week. looking forward to that one. i`ll have to do this too whilst i got week off.
Yeah just hold back a little if your on your own. It’s very techie. It’s stuff like this that made me decide to buy the Garmin in reach. There are a few places you will be carrying your ebike on this ride. You will love it though
@@TrailFinder did the potato alley route in week. off for week from thurs so weather permitting i`ll be doing a couple of lakes routes. how do you get on with fields of cows. they terrify me sometimes. half a ton of beef could do some serious damage.
Great video mate, can you please tell me where you got your frame bag from? Looks like it Velcro’s to the frame with a side loading zip, just what I need for my YT Jeffsy. Cheers

@@Stopadoodledoo if bridle path with the 🏠 on It i had push up that to get grisedale tarn & that was gnar fair play ride it 👍
@@ashleyscarth8363 That's the one - Patterdale Climbers Hut 👍
Lots to explore in this area. And the trails are just up my street. Huge rocks. Loose and techie
Just catching up on vids Andy. This looks a spectacular ride. The scenery is amazing.
Up there as one of my fav’s
5tens are great for walking in mind man. Cleats are right in a recess so they don’t really feel like clippys when you hobble about.
Great vid man. Big fan. 🤘🏻
Thanks philippe. I’ll take a look at them. Also been looking at those new ones from crank brothers. Pleased your enjoying watching 👊👊
Awesome riding Andy. Big day out that. Love that area. Some of the best riding in the Lakes.
Certainly is. Will be investigating more rides in that area
Looks an epic ride. Beautiful place and great video as usual
Thanks Rhett. Glad you enjoyed watching
Perfect day for it. Stunning scenery. Really enjoyed watching this one :)
Cheers mark 😁 you will have to go get it ridden

great vid needing motivation and that certainly gave it a boost
Thanks mr giddings

Thanks mate. Loving the audio. One hell of a rough ride this one. But right up my street.
Another great ride and video.
Cheers duke
Loving that water filter. Very handy👌

Well that had everything brilliant ride Andy, unfortunately I don't think I've got the legs for that one 🥵
It’s a tough one. Really enjoyed it. But was looking forward to getting back to the van
Stunning, looks like you pretty much had the place to yourself 👍
Most people flock to bowness/Keswick/Ambleside. Leaving this part of the lakes pretty quiet
Yep that looked brutal mate 😉👍😢
Looks awesome. Gonna do this ride next week. Have you got address of where you parked to start route.
Just take a look at the map of the route. I started Strava where I parked
That looked brutal!
The descents were with it though
Great video mate, can you please tell me where you got your frame bag from? Looks like it Velcro’s to the frame with a side loading zip, just what I need for my YT Jeffsy. Cheers
It’s a completely strapless bag that’s made by ibis especially for the ripmo. It won’t fit any other bike I’m afraid
@@TrailFinder ok no worries, thanks, I’ll keep looking. 👍

Andy Have you got any thoughts about getting a drone ? Maybe some of those walkers you pass might be up for making a donation! 😀👍
No mate. I’ll leave the drone footage to our mutual friend

Do you save the gpx from your rides ?
Take a look in the description of all my videos

You could've been set upon by Orcs at any moment lol
Looks awesome ,need to get up.and do this one
You will love it. Go do it
