Ride report by Simeon Orme
I met Charlie and Mike at the Cow Bridge car park near Brother Water, we down numbers again due to members being on holiday or in Nick case having to work or another member who shall be nameless was leading Lancaster CTC Section ride the following day! Anyway you miss a great ride!
Anyway I don’t know if was Charlie comments about the South Lakes Group slowly becoming the SAS section of the Rough-Stuff Fellowship or was It that I getting a lot fitter but it seem a lot easier climb up to the summit of The Knott than the last time the group we did this ride in 2004 (click here to read ride report), it took us about hour and half reach the summit of The Knott, our route took us through the village of Hartsop, we then followed the bridleway up to Haywater where we had short stop for coffee and sandwhich before following the bridleway up to the summit of The Knott, we followed the track along the Straits of Riggindale before joining the High Street Roman Road. With good views of the lakes all around us, we headed up the summit of High Rise, then followed the old Roman Road to the summits of Raven Howe and Red Crag before stopping some lunch in shelter of boundary wall we runs part of way along road.
After enjoying our lunch we continue along the track, at Loadpot Hill, we then followed the bridleway around the hill, then along Barton Fell down to Pooley Bridge for tea and cakes. Then after our cafe stop, we headed the ten mile ride back up the Ullswater Valley on the A592 and getting back to the cars at Cow Bridge just before five o’clock. Many thanks to Charles and Mike for their company on the ride.
