Did this ride recently. This was an amazing ride and it certainly is the best natural ride that I've done! Thanks for posting.

Ive actually done this ride a few times, absolutely excellent and the views are simply stunning!!

I lived in Ambleside from 2009 - 2014 and would cycle this exact route on my Intense Tracer VP, but you are a much smoother rider. I miss the lakes but work takes you where you make a living, and this vid has made my day, my week, my month .. seeing it again .. Its lit up my face watching all these turns .... feels like if I close my eyes I can also follow your path :)

This looks awesome. I recognise some sections but I defo want to do the whole thing after the lockdown ends. It cracked me up when you pulled out the "Shrimps & Bananas", that's what me and my mate always take with us for big rides, I thought we were the only ones!

As always Mark. Thank you

Just found your channel and love it! A good ride in that locality that I've done a few times combines with some of the bridleways from another one of your videos. Start at Grizedale visitor centre, ride up into Grizdale East, down to the road, bridleway to Cunsey Bridge, then road to Far Sawrey, back up and then the downhill you climbed from Windermere, epic! Along the shore to High Wray then climb up to Long Height and down to Hawkshead. Bridleway back out of Hawkshead into Grizedale West, some of the NFT and techy bridleway descents back to the visitors centre. Basically anticlockwise but I think 23-24 mile if I can remember.
