Lakes MTB - Grizedale 'No Red Trails Here'

A variation of a loop I've done many times some of which I've not done for a few years. It is surprising how many trails have been lost to nature with many many trees having fallen, some have been cleared most have not even on major forest roads which shows you the scale of devastation from the various storms which has to be said must be getting more intense and frequent. I've been riding in and around Grizedale for probably 20 years and not seen anything to this extent

We still managed to give or take do the intended loop with some slight detours, using different trails, climbing over and ducking under fallen trees here and there. These trails are just great fun to blast along at silly speeds with an element of risk to keep the adrenaline pumping 😵‍💫

Out with Mark who had a bit of range anxiety going on towards the end of the ride on his ebike but managed to get back with a few percent left for good measure 👌
