E mountain biking, lakes. Loughrigg Elterwater, Lingmoor, skelghyll woods and Wain lane 07/05/2024

I decided to try and get up onto Lingmoor this was quite a hard effort for me and when i reached the locked gate at the top I was contemplating my choices and I was at the point of stripping the bike down to get the bike to get it over the gate when a fit fell runner arrived and he gave me a hand lifiting my bike over, my other option was to just to U turn and go back down to Elterwater.
Note to self do not try this one on my own again.
I really enjoyed the descent tho, apart from stopping myself dead with a pedal strike while I was arse over the back mudguard resulting in a seat to the Knac***s
I still hadn't set the sag making things harder by the time I was climbing Skelghyll woods I was struggling like a T**t with getting tired and the rear Maxxis DHR 11 is not a pacth on the Vittoria E mazza's I've been using recently.
I had so many pedal strikes and grounding out on the bash plate and spinning up to a halt, this was not one of my better attempts.
The Sag is now set correctly, sorted when I got home.
Wain lane the last clip is one of the places I have to hold my self back a little just in case theres walkers or bikes coming up but its still a nice easy fast descent you just have to be aware of other people heading up towards Troutbeck
