Piel Trail Ride
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:29 am
I will be camping over at the Great Langdale Campsite on Friday 31st May. Its a cracking site, a few miles West of Windermere.
Up and out early on Saturday 1st. Aiming to leave the campsite no later than 0830. This will leave 5 hours of riding before we have to cross to Piel Island (13:30).
Theres a fantastic route Ive done a couple of times now. Route will end around Coniston, then its approx 15 miles to Barrow.
BUT, Im hoping to include a Beach byway as well if theres time, if not, I will be doing it on Sunday after we return from Piel.
The route has some difficult sections (and if you follow the ABR Green Lane articles Id rate some of the route as a grade 4). So, not for beginners, knobblies will be required. Looking to lead me + 7.
So, who's in. Will probably require you camping Friday night as well as its an early start Saturday to get the most out of the time available.
