로우스워터 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

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.

Amazing scenery of the lake and fells, good place for photos

There is a bumpy, small rock boulder track for maybe a couple of miles at this location. The bumps make the bike vibrate and slow motion down, your arms get well exercised riding through this area

This section takes some effort and determination. Climbing around the side of Ling Fell on a single track, there are some smallish rock boulders on the surface. If it had been raining this could be difficult to climb around, luckily it had been dry for a couple of weeks when I passed by

This location is a steep climbing section with loads of switchbacks. As you rise to elevated points the views of Bassenthwaite Lake are brilliant. You can see for miles around in between the trees on the edges of the double tracks

The lake is fed by numerous streams including the beck from Scale Force. The River Cocker starts from here, flowing towards Cockermouth where it joins the River Derwent.

Beware of free descending in the wet - it *appears* a shallow descent but you pick up speed quickly and there are some (otherwise lovely) sharp/blind turns.

Glorious views! Well worth the trip
