By far the easiest route up and down Helvellyn with a bike, great for a big mountain experience for less technical riders.

This is a relatively straightforward climb up a decent bridleway, however, sections are quite steep and loose, so traction isn't great on a bike. Much of this section becomes a push/hike a bike, but it's definitely very achievable. Coming down, you need to respect the surface as it's loose but it's a fun descent never the less!

On an eMTB this route is 100% rideable up to the flat section between Raise and Whiteside Bank. The only thing that will stop you is a lack of traction on the tight switchbacks.
