Man, i haven't been on the bike in ages and this has given me the itch. Might get out this weekend. I missed a few of your videos, good to see the sandwich of the day section is still included 😊

Hi ian, i cant work out your route down into seathwaite? Im looking to start in coniston, down to torver, thru woods around the knott and bridleway along long mire to goats crag then down to seathwaite. Im up there next month, i also bought your book, i have planned a few rides out of it already but it doesnt include the walna scar?

Share GPX?

Hi mate, i thought the summit of ingleborough was footpaths only ?

Looks like an ace ride that 👌🏻 love the peaks takin my bike on the train at the weekend to go do the beast, did the back end track of mam tor 2 weeks ago that was fun

Have you got this route saved somewhere? I recently moved close to whitbarrow. Got your book but would love to check this one out close to home.

Did some of that route, enjoyed the close look at the wildflowers, good time of year didn't know you could eat the wild garlic raw. Would revisit, recognise some bits not orhers.

Good video thanks. I've done a short frying pan route from Raven's Lodge a couple of times on my hardtail,continuing south on the bridleway towards the Derby Arms after the dodgy descent above Halecat. Cumbrian e-bikes do a variation on your route missing out the Halecat section but then include the bridleways south of Brigsteer up onto the Helsington ridge beyond the church.All of it a lovely area.

Such a beautiful view what is this trail called is it just Ennerdale trail or what is the car park called please

I live in Glasson Dock, been up and down that track more times than i care to remember 🙂 I always travel to the Lakes and Dales for my rides nowadays, have done for the past 20 years. Such a shame theres not much to do around here. Have you ever done Ouster Rake in the Trough???

Hi again just letting you know I finally did salter fell yesterday after years of getting round to it. It was harder than I thought it would be but did it from wray 1h40 out and 1h10 back , fantastic views. Loved the middle of nowhere vibe took it easy as it was tricky in places stepped off few times , it was a hard tail but yeah a full suspension would have been more comfortable. Found it easier coming back despite the head wind

Did I hear you right? Family friendly psychopath 😂

Thanks for another video , nice easy flat one why not , I sometimes after arriving at glasson is head inland on the canal path , abit bumpy but it’s ok . Then a left at galgate and back into Lancaster via the canal . Bless I have two girls but there not interested in cycling

If you're ever down in Devon, you should try Dartmoor. It's beautiful going up to the reservoir. Lots of uphill, mind.

Another cracking Video. We're up in the moors and Dales of Yorkshire later this year near Masham so might have to look at this one. Did you say there was a Komoot link?

good to see you back

welcome back. sandwich of the day not up to your usual standard 🤣🤣🤣. bummer about the rear mech, lucky to be fairly close to the car when it happened...

It's always a pleasure to follow your adventures with your bike ;)

Welcome back sir happy new year 🥳 Thanks for the great video looked good . I had a very hilly forest of bowland ride this week from rigg lane over cross gill , roeburndale, wray , helks brow, lythe fell lane , cross of greet , skiathe , slaidburn, dunsop bridge, the trough then jubilee tower then end back at rigg lane , was 4hours 40 miles with 6000 ft climbing ! I was shattered but enjoyed it

I'm pleased it wasn't that busy when I did it (02/05/23). There were 2 folk at the top and I met 3 people on the way down.. Mega ride, I did it from Cow Green reservoir.

i want to do this route today as i live in caton how do u get to the starting point

Do you have a gpx for this route ? please

hello, do you also have a GPX of your beautiful ride? Greetings Erik

Doing this tomorrow with a bit of snow. Can’t wait. X

I gather you can do this the lady annes way all on bike

Did I see you below the aqueduct last week at Lancaster?

Hi. Great video. We normally ride the win hill loop butni fancy a change. Dont happen to have the gpx/strava link for yhis loop i could use do you pleaee? Thanks you.

Looks a nice route. Don't suppose you have a gpx for it you would share do you?

Hah, it took me an embarassingly long time to stop referring to one of the sections up there as the 'Clifford Byway'...

Hi Ian. Great vid/trail. Would you share the GPX file? You have some great tails I’d like to try. Kind regards Karl

Hi Ian, I've recently discovered your videos and getting some good ideas from you as I'm based in your area with the Lakes and Dales on either side. A lot of good stuff!

Are these rides from a book by any chance? If so I have that book it has some good rides in

Just recognised some of this route from our ride earlier in the week also your ride with Trailfinder over to Wastwater, video on its way

"The mud is rarely too deep to prevent the progress of a determined rider with a good run up"...... *the Author, ladies and gentlemen* 2:11 😆😆. Only joking mate, having a bash at this today, the weather is perfect!

Fantastic efforts dude really enjoyed the video my friend 😊👌❤️🇬🇧

Great to have you back making videos Ian 👍. Been up there myself this summer a couple of times .

Where did you find the weather for this? 😠Love to hear the motivation, Ian. Well done for coming back!

Lovely ride.Down to the Lune to where I used to live in Halton..then across to Morecambe and the bay...Ah!! and Lancaster itself...Time to re-visit for me!😀

Nice vid mate 👍

Great fun. Favourite river!

I just saw this ride...very enjoyable to be in the soft saddle! Fond memories of this area from my time there (I worked at The Dukes Playhouse in Lancaster) in the early 80's...I will check to the other videos...Not a rider, age 70 but thinking seriously of a trekking e bike...what is your bike? Also, a favourite book, now out of print, "Between Ribble and Lune" by David Pownall....such a special land...and people.

Good to see your videos again ! Working through your guidebooks and did much of this on a recent ride including some other villages as an extension of the Pen-y-Ghent tour recently. But didn't see the Norber rocks - another time ! Loved the descent into Wharfe (also rode straight over the stone bridge) and the singletrack between the stone walls.

You must be so proud! Really nice video. I haven't been to Ennerdale in 16 years and my god has it changed in such a (relatively) short time! They are doing a great job restoring the place. Looking forward to more rides, Ian.

Erica’s little legs, going like pistons - what a little trooper 😊

Is it a full ride on a ebike or is there still a push and whats the miles please

How can I find this loop? Looks really good. Do you need to carry your bike at any point or is it just the odd push? Cheers

It’s been a while!

Great video, it reminds me of my adolescence when I used to roam all over the mountains with my bike.

Great Vid, thanks - FYI - There's a trail round the far side of the lake that takes you up to the Fangs Brow bridleway, avoiding the road-climb. That terrace bridleway is what remains of an old 'Corps road' - great riding - when it's dry! Loved the Whinlatter vid also - keep 'em coming!
