🍾 Start 2023 right with a blast through Whinlatter. So fitness, such activity

📍 Whinlatter is one Northern England's Super Six trail centres. Set within the Lake District, a World Heritage Site, Whinlatter has unrivalled views across Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater and Keswick. It is also home to the longest purpose-built mountain bike trails in the Lake District. 

↔️ A 19km Red graded and 7.5km Blue predominantly single track loop with some technical features

🔴 We'll start with the Blue trails which are very flowy and are suitable for beginners. Then we go over to the South Red trail with its amazing downhill sections, followed by the slightly more challenging North Red trail. That part of the day may not be suitable to inexperienced riders, but we'll be sure to talk things through on the day.

🧁 All trails start and end at the Siskins Cafe so we can stop for refreshments between rides or a well-deserved slice of cake after.

🚲 Bike hire is available from the trailhead. Early bookings are recommended

❄️ In winter, we're checking the forecast 3-4 days before the event to make sure conditions will be safe to ride.
