Skiddaw - in pictures

The mighty Skiddaw, in Cumbria. I have ridden this route a few times now and it truly is huge!

Starting in Keswick, here is a link to the route card for the ride that I have followed

Here are some pictures from the first time I rode it

View of Skiddaw from the campsite

Long winding path up past the waterfall

Nearly there...

Fast, flowy singletrack following the contour of the mountain

And climbing again, into the clouds

Its a long haul

Easier to carry

Stream crossing

Cold and cloudy - no view, but worth it!

Long, fast and loose.. the descent that is!

A ride worth doing again, with plenty of bridleways to extend/change the route. Hard work, but worth the final descent!
