Love that track with ullswater on your right. Nice watch
Cheers mate, yeah it's a great trail that one. Worth it for the views alone
100% agree. Great trail and fantastic views👍🏻
I've been riding that loop for 30+ years from Lowther park, never get sick of it. 1st done on an Raleigh maverick, Muddy fox road runner, Saracen Trekker, Orange Alu O, Proflex 857, Spesh enduro, Litespeed Obed, Rocky mountain vertex and now a YT izzo. It's a superb short loop with some nice fast single track. Great late evening in the summer or early morning before the crowds. Really missing it right now 😭😭😭😭
I used to have an Orange O2 about 20 years ago. Great bike.
Nice vid mate. Some familiar trails again 👍
Cheers dude 👍
Recently walked the Askham loop, definitely one I want to go back to but with a bike next time 👍
It's a lovely area for biking or walking. I walked on the fells above there last summer. It was great
@@Lakedistrictrider after watching a few more of your vids last night and this evening, it’s nailed on I’m buying myself a MTB again and getting myself out and about this year 👍
@@lukeberry7557 nice mate, enjoy. It's a great hobby/sport
Great video Ian.
This is my local riding area, I live nearby, work down at Howtown & regularly ride from Hill Top, up to the Cockpit & down to work.
Cheers mate. Sounds like you have one of the best commutes in the country! 👍
Brilliant video, I love riding that trail myself 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate, it's a belter hey 👍
Top vid Ian. Looks a great ride. Happy New Year Mate.
Cheers Mark, Happy New Year to you too 👍
Great ride Ian, and agree it's hard to keep the lense clean forever wiping this time of year.
Yeah its a pain. Have to cut out lots of footage ruined by water/mud covering the lens. Oh well, consequence of living in northern England.
great rides would love to see them on Kamoot, strava, ect
Cheers mate. Can find some of them, including the best bits of this one, in my guide book 👍
Nice ride. Enjoying your content. Could I ask what do you use for recording your rides? What camera and setup do you have? And do you use a mic? I'd like to record my rides but no idea which equipment to use?
Thanks Simon. I just use a GoPro Hero 7 Black. No additional mics but you need some sort of dead cat to cut out the wind noise
Recently subscribed and just bought your lakes book after seeing you ride with Andy (Trail Finder). Planning a few of them as and when lockdown eases. Do you mind anyone following you on Strava? 👍
Thanks for subscribing and getting the book, that's great. I only use Strava intermittantly so isn't worth following at the moment. I might rethink how I use it in the future though.
I’ve seen there’s a lot of rides on here not showing in your book, guessing the book was written well before then. I suppose if you put everything on Strava, the books may not sell! 🤔
@@brendantinsley1888 yeah there is a mix of stuff similar to the book routes and lots of other stuff too
Nice ride. Got a strava route?
Thanks mate. No but the best bits of the route are in my guidebook mentioned in the descrption 👍
Great video - one of my favourite places in the Lakes. Do you have the .gpx file by any chance? Thanks!
Thanks mate, no gpx but you can find most of the route in my guidebook. :)
@@Lakedistrictrider Okay great, thanks. Just seen your Helvellyn crash, hope you’re doing well!
All good now thanks 👍
@@Lakedistrictrider Just taken delivery of the book, hoping to do them all!
@@thomas6895 cheers mate, really hope you enjoy the book and the routes 👍
