Ride report by Simeon Orme
After meeting at the free car park in Sedbergh, the eleven of us headed 500 yards up the road to the Gallery Coffee House for morning cafe stop.
After the cafe stop we headed out of Sedbergh on the A683, then turn on to the A684 for short distance before following the lanes back to the A683 after crossing over the River Clough via Garsdale Bridge. We followed the A683 for about 2 miles before taking a side road up to Bluecaster, we were soon following public byway with good views of the Howgills and Cautley Spout. After about mile we turn on to bridleway which we followed into Uldale, we stop for some lunch beside the track.
After lunch we continue on the track into Uldale, then followed the lanes down to Rawthey Bridge where we rejoin the A683, which followed down to Cross Keys where we crossed over the River Rawthey via the footbridge, we then followed the bridleway down the valley to Ellerthwaite, then followed the lanes through the hamlet of Buckbank before rejoining the A683 for the last mile back to Sedbergh.
