Mountain Biking around Claife Heights
The Lake District is a hub for adventure, whether you’re looking for multi-day hikes or just escaping for a few hours. It’s also home to some amazing gravel tracks and quiet lanes that are perfect for getting out on the mountain bike.
Ogden Reservoir to Windy Hill
Let’s face it, 2020 was a horrible year, with many people stuck inside and unable to see friends, family, and loved ones. However, many of us found solace in the outdoors, something that we usually took for granted suddenly became the highlight of the day. Reconnecting with nature and our local areas has helped us both mentally and physically and allowed us to appreciate a slower pace of life.
Rydal Cave
Sat between Ambleside and Grasmere, Rydal is home to the extensively photographed Rydal Cave, a manmade former quarry. #GetOutside Champion Rory Southworth takes us on a leisurely 6.2km route.
A little Gem in London: Putney, Barnes to Chiswick Markets
A small ponder along green lush woodlands, passing old oak trees and wide open spaces along south of the river where the pace is a bit slower and the wildlife from Jays to Woodpeckers awaits you around the corner.
Bike exploring: Electric Mountain Bike Adventure
As part of #BigBikeRevival and #BikeWeek2018, Helen Pollard takes us on an electric mountain bike route from Castle Bolton to Askrigg.
Bike exploring: Invasion of Hurst Castle
Pennington to Hurst Castle Loop. Just under 10 miles of easy going bike trail, quiet roads and shingle/pebble beach. A great all year ride, suitable for families however the final spit section maybe a challenge for smaller legs and wheels.
Family bike ride adventure
With another school holiday rapidly approaching the universal question of parents everywhere is again heard… How do we keep the kids entertained this school holiday? Why not consider turning a simple family bike ride into an adventure!
Great cycling for all at Rutland Water
Rutland might be England’s smallest county but it’s motto of ‘much in little’ certainly holds true. Lovely scenery, plenty of wildlife, and great cycling are all on offer during this relaxing ride around Rutland Water.
Jack’s Rake Scramble
Jack’s Rake is a brilliant grade 1 scramble in the stunning Langdale area of the Lake District, with potential for something more for those looking for a bit of a bigger thrill or an extended adventure.
