This famous rocky outcrop lies on a very nice route around Skiddaw or Blencathra, part of the Cumbrian Way. They're very hard to ride on a MTB, probably rated S2 - S3. Good luck!

Careful balance and some trials skills required! This isn't the best part of the trail for me.

Ok, so it’s not an easy ride up as it has narrow and rocky sections. However a committed intermediate level rider should at least enjoy the bits they can ride, and the views across the valley and up to Skiddaw House make it a worthwhile climb, even when pushing the bike. We did it in summer, so imagine it’s trickier in winter.

Skiddaw, Whitewater Dash and Caldrew Trail loop — The Lake District

49,5km

04:30

1.080m

Get ready for a difficult mountain biking adventure on the Skiddaw, Whitewater Dash and Caldrew Trail loop. This challenging route covers 30.8 miles (49.5 km) with a significant 3549 feet (1082 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 4 hours and 29 minutes to complete. You'll navigate varied terrain, from flowing singletrack to technical sections of loose rock, all while enjoying incredible views of the ancient Skiddaw massif and passing the dramatic Whitewater Dash waterfall.

This difficult mountain biking route requires advanced riding skills and very good fitness; expect to push your bike on some extremely steep ascents. The Caldew Trail section can become boggy in winter, so plan your ride for drier months to avoid the worst conditions. Given the remote sections, always carry proper equipment, including maps and a compass, especially if visibility changes quickly.

Explore a truly wild Lake District experience as you venture into remote areas like the upper Caldew valley, known for its sense of wilderness and solitude. The Skiddaw massif itself is formed by ancient volcanoes, adding a unique geological context to your ride. This trail offers a deep dive into the rugged, untamed beauty that defines this part of the national park.
