Hello peeps,
Another Weekend Away Ride! We haven’t had any all year, and now four come along at once!
If you are keen to join us, four of us are heading to Keswick on Friday 28th Oct to Sun 30th Oct. I’m tackling Whinlatter Forest Park and the Altura Trails, but if anyone has any ride suggestions, please feel free to post a comment.
Accommodation is at Denton House Bunkhouse – it’s £15 per night, tea/coffee, linen included but they recommend bringing a duvet/sleeping bag. It’s in Keswick & the trails are a close drive away.
I’m booking the bunkhouse on Monday so we don’t miss out, so if you’re keen, please let me know before then.
Cheers
Barry
Some completely unrequested local knowledge (I went to school in Keswick and my mam still lives near by).
Make sure you do the blue route if you’re going to Whinlatter, there’s some nice berms and jumps. There are also some alternative techy lines round some of the corners.
If you’re looking for some natural routes pop into Keswick bikes, they have some laminated route maps. The Borrowdale bash is a good ride, although better with cheeky bits. There’s also a new shop in town – Planet Fear. If you want an evening meal and a few drinks then try Siennas, it’s owned by someone I went to school with and does good steak.
Barry,
I’ll bring my trial book for the lakes along on tuesday- had lots of rides around Keswsick in it.
