From the day I started mountain biking I knew about this route. This season I finally bit the bullet and took a day trip out to Keswick. Was it worth the 7 hour drive? Hell YES!

Amazing views from the Skiddaw summit, loose scree shaley descents down to Unlock. Onto the ridge... the ridge of all ridges! I thought it would just be all for the views (which it had for days) but wow, those techy slate lines...

The GPX will take you 2900ft up to the summit, all push/hike-a-bike as preferred, followed by a scree descent. Then you have an optional push back up to the summit to do the second scree descent (caution! steep and a big drop off), followed by the route along the ridge.
