Lake District Mountain Biking.. A ride of attrition! Red Pike, High Style, High Crag and Scarth Gap

We rarely go over to the western edge of the lakes due to the high number of tourists most of the year, but my mate was dropping his son off in Maryport to pick up a van, so we thought why not! Did my research to plan a ride based on other youtube videos and google maps.. this looked a peach! Hmm... well, all I can say is those videos had some heavy handed editing and what looks a great trail on google maps satellite imagery...err..isn't.. We climbed, climbed and climbed from Buttermere up to Red Pike pretty much mostly hike-a-bike with some super steep, super sketchy bits at the top of Red Pike. From there it's no flow nadgery to High Style and High Crag. The views though..wow..stunning.. The descent from High Crag to Scarth Gap promised greatness.. it's unbelievable steep when you look back at it.. better riders with Mr MacAskill skills may well ride it all, but the tight, twisty path from the top demands total respect and isn''t worth the risk for us mere mortals.. We thought that at least we had the descent from Scarth Gap back to Buttermere to look forward to and in parts this is brilliant, very technical with boulders and looseness a plenty but lacking flow. .. I didn't aim to make a long video but instead focus on the descents but they were so broken up it's ended up a bit of a mish mash of bits. Anyways..hope you enjoy it. A ride of attrition this most certainly is... If you want the GPX, just email me at [email protected]
