Parkamoor

This is a good (for good read big) day out nearly 30k in length and with 900m of ascent a good pair of legs will be put to the test.

We start by taking the first climb of the north Face Trail (which is probably the best bit of the TNF trail….) After gaining height on this technical climb we leave the forest for while well head south on the open ridge that is Parkamoor. With views down to Coniston water this is the highlight of the day.

After a few more ups and down we get to climb the amusingly named  ‘Breasty Haw’, and then bounce hard and fast down her. The final climb is steep, but takes us to the Grizedale Fox (cue cheesy team photo)

A last descent on potatoes and baby’s heads takes us back to the visitor center in time (hopefully) for for tea and medals….

This day ride is suitable for intermediate and experienced mountain bikers on good mountain bikes.
