Superb video. Done many of the trails around here many years ago. Well, I know where I am riding at the weekend then! Thanks. BTW, that bench near the bridge would have been a perfect spot for Sandwich of the day! I've had many there myself!
@@Lakedistrictrider I did a Morecambe and Lancaster mtb group ride this weekend. Re-watched your video to get some idea of how it would be.. the final decents into Clapham were a mixture fun and terror in the dark. 🤣😲. Not easy to get usable footage in the dark at speed but just about got away with it.
@@Lakedistrictrider Yeah was a good ride, my first time riding in the Dales, I normally head to The Lakes. The last decent to the tunnels I got a bit "sendy" and went a little faster than I should. Final decent starts at 14 minutes.. ua-cam.com/video/HEw-_r2hjow/v-deo.htmlsi=LrO1aeB9WEkqqVxa
@@Lakedistrictrider brilliant thanks. I can work it out from that map. I've sent a follow request. I've used route 12 a couple of times taking out youth groups. It's a great intro ride. This one looked similar. Thanks again.
Morning Do you use any type of puncture preventative measures.. As I’m looking at starting to ride the peaks and the trails look very similar as rocks on the trails.. Thank you for this video Looks lovely Definitely a ride to do early in a morning as to miss the day walkers..
Morning, I converted to tubeless last year using Stans tubeless kit. Not had a puncture since so far. Normally this route is pretty quiet but tgere were a lot of DoE groups about that day
@@Lakedistrictrider Thank you.. I’ll look into the Stan’s You live in a lovely area of the Uk 🇬🇧 The north is the best in my opinion The views are wonderful

Yes had a few sandwiches on that bench over the years 😀
What, no sandwich of the day???? unbelievable :)
Ha, well spotted. Short ride this one, didn't need a sandwich, just a quick energy bar 😀

Mtb isn’t dead
I do ride bmx but I love mtb! I just subscribed 😄
Hi Ian. Are you able to share a GPX/route track of this route please. I've looked in your book and can't find it. No stress if not.
Hi Phil, it follos a large chunk of route 12. But here you go, does this work? strava.app.link/AmAYy1R40ib

No worries. That's great, hope the youth groups enjoy the routes 👍

You live in a lovely area of the Uk 🇬🇧
The north is the best in my opinion
The views are wonderful
Thanks mate, yes I agree, it is a great part of the country if you like the outdoors. Even if it can get a bit wet at times!

Rather be in the Uk 🇬🇧 with its climate that Southern Europe and its sun 🌞 and heat..
