Nan Bield Pass Shelter

This is a walkers route. Very steep and in the wet, unridable duo being too slippy. A pro or extremely talented individual might make it but I would like to see it.

Going up from Glenridding will be a push for most, I think. Can be quite windy up there, but still good fun.

Starting the Kirkstone Pass climb from the Hartsop direction on the A592, prepare for a long, sustained ascent rather than an immediate shock to the system. As you pedal south, leaving Brothers Water shimmering beside you, settle into a steady rhythm; much of this scenic climb averages around 5-6%. Soak in the beautiful Lake District views opening up down the Patterdale valley behind you. While known as the 'easier' side compared to The Struggle, don't underestimate the final sections. Experience the gradient kicking up noticeably steeper, potentially into double digits at 10-12%, demanding a final hard effort as you approach the famous Kirkstone Pass Inn perched high at the summit. Feel the landscape become more exposed as you gain height, finishing this classic, rewarding Lakeland ascent.

The stone built shelter will provide a good spot for a tea break on your way to Mardale Ill Bell and High Street from Haweswater via Small Water. It is at less than 2 miles from Haweswater head car-park so may be too early for lunch yet.

Nice views on a clear day

Pretty big tarn surrounded by fells
