|
|
| Start/Finish: SE 04602 98862 Fremington Total distance: 7.8km (4.85 miles) Total ascent: 64m (210ft) Total Time: 30-90 minutes Route summary: This is a beautiful and mostly flat route mixing farm tracks, meadows and riverside singletrack to give beginners a great introduction to this northerly Yorkshire Dale. If you fancy incorporating some more strenuous and technical riding, you can easily tag the start or finish of the Moderate Ride onto this one. Turn right out of Dales Bike Centre and over the bridge. Turn right up past the church as the road curves round to the left. Turn right again along the singletrack road between dry stone walls. Continue straight onto the bridleway as the road turns left uphill. Follow the farm track until it opens out into riverside meadows. Follow singletrack along the riverside to a gate. Go through (remember to close it after you) and traverse upwards under Stubbin Farm up to the road. Have a drink and a breather then retrace your route down to the river and along to the bike centre. | |||||

| WMB 117 Howgills Beginner (Blue) Route | Matt_Skinner | May 13th 2011, 01:26 | 14.4km |
|
|
| Start/Finish Main Street, Sedbergh. SD 657 920 (alternative start point Cross Keys pub at SD 697 969) Total distance 14.7km/9 miles Time 1.5 to 3 hours Maps Ordnance Survey Explorer OL19: Howgill Fells and Upper Eden Valley 1:25,000. Route summary Tarmac warm-up followed by low-level singletrack return along valley. From Sedbergh, follow the one-way system through Main Street onto A683. At junction with A684, stay on A683 (signed Kirkby Stephen) and follow road north-east. It’s a wide road but vehicles can be fast so make sure you’re visible, ideally equipped with lights if weather is poor. After 7km, you will reach the Cross Keys pub (an alternative start point). Next to the pub is a bus stop and path down to the river – walk down the steps and across the river on footbridge to pick up bridleway as it descends from Narthwaite. Turn left, keeping the river on your left, and pass below Cautley Spout, bearing left at junction to cross smaller river on footbridge, following path between walls to gate. Continue along bridleway as it heads south-west down the valley, contouring and maintaining reasonable height as you cross streams and pass through gates. Maintain direction as you cross open section of pasture below Cautley – look for gate in fence opposite to guide you back to singletrack as it continues around the fell and becomes a walled lane between hedges. Emerge at Fawcett Bank and stick with bridleway as it becomes doubletrack. Pass through farm at Thursgill then join minor road to descend back to valley floor. Turn right at junction with A683 and return to Sedbergh via road you exited on. Follow the one way system to return to the start point. | |||||

| The Lake District is great to ride all year as most trails have a rock, stone or hardpack base. The weather is better than most people realise! | |||||

| WMB 117 Howgills Intermediat (Red) Route | Matt_Skinner | May 13th 2011, 01:35 | 16.1km |
|
|
| Start/Finish Main Street, Sedbergh. SD 657 920 Total distance 16.2km/10 miles Time 2.5 hours + Maps Ordnance Survey Explorer OL19: Howgill Fells and Upper Eden Valley 1:25,000. Route summary One big climb followed by one big descent and very little else in between. From the centre of Sedbergh, take Howgill Lane and head north on NCN68, bearing right at t-junction after 2.5km and crossing several valleys. At crossroads before Howgill (heavily signed for NCN routes), turn right to pick up bridleway which ascends through Castley to the fell. At fell boundary pass through gate, drop to river and pick up track that climbs up the spine of White Fell. Endure long, sustained and partly unrideable ascent to the top of The Calf, bearing right as gradient diminishes to find trig point at summit. Ignore several smaller tracks heading to left and stick with wider, eroded path that climbs to summit. From trig point take wide and well maintained path south to Calders. Drop steeply on loose and rocky track to saddle of Rowantree Grains before ascending over shoulder of Arant Haw. Follow fast, wide and grassy descent down towards Winder. Take care to pick correct left turn off saddle between the two hills – ignore the first and continue along the ridge until narrow singletrack appears on left. Do not start to climb ridge towards the summit of Winder but take singletrack left and descend in a southward direction towards Sedbergh, visible below. Follow this track as it widens slightly, passing through several small cuts in the hill and always heading towards Sedbergh. At clear area of earthworks bear left to drop increasingly steeply above Lockbank Farm – watch out for a rocky stepdown which appears without warning on fastest section. Pass through two gates at foot of fell, cross the farmyard and pick up lane to minor road. Turn left to return to start point in Sedbergh. | |||||

| This is definately an easier option out of Sedbergh than tackling the Howgills, but beware a couple of genuine river crossings, which could be hazardous under flood conditions. | |||||
