バセンスウェイト湖でののおすすめグラベルライド

Ride past the cafe and around the back in between the caf and the bike shop. Hang your bike in the rail and there is an outdoor hatch to beat the indoor queues. There’s also a drinking water tap to fill up before the rest of your ride.

Trail for kids

An image above shows the lighting system switched on, however for one reason or another, it was off as I passed through on an overcast day. Another rider oncoming without lights (like me) was barely visible in the middle of the tunnel. Mercifully, we'd already spotted one another entering. If you have an urge to read your phone/navigation device on a similarly gloomy day while the tunnel lighting system is switched off, my advice would be to do so before you enter the tunnel. You're going to need 100% attention if there's traffic ahead!

Fantastic multi-user track along old railway. A taste of what its like on one of those long European bike paths that we don't have.

Nice shortcut via bridge Portinscale to Keswick. Also there is a good and free car parking on Keswick end od the foot bridge. Dead end road.
