Where are you staying? Coniston, Ambleside etc??HI, heading to lake dsitrict this week and be great if you could share the GPS of this route, last link expired. thanks
driving down from Scotland on way to Yorkshire, so flexible. thinking I will do this route https://www.trailforks.com/route/walna-scar-up-and-down/Where are you staying? Coniston, Ambleside etc??
Did this a few years ago. Challenging!Skiddaw, pedal around to the yha then up to the top and drop off ullock pike.
It's as good as your gonna get.
Not me using that map ..
Yes, it is + that route looks good. I'll try to find mine on StravaGood Morning Folks,
Im planning on doing this route from Lake MTB site
I will be on my ebike so would like to cut out the hike a bike up nan beild.Staveley and Nan Bield - LakesMTB
Staveley and Nan Bield This is a BIG ride (22 miles). Not one to be taken lightly, but you’ll be glad to know you have a choice of Wilfs Café, More Bakery and Hawkshead Brewery at the beginning or end of your ride to satisfy your every craving. Start the ride at Staveley Mill Yard…lakesmtb.co.uk
lots of good information on this post so thought i would ask for confirmation that if i cut out the descent to Haweswater and turn left its all rideable ?
can anyone tell me at ehat point on the Lakes MTB route do i cut off ?
any advice graefully received
thanks Tam
Thank You for taking the time to confirm James much appreciated.
Just a little update for anyone starting from Staveley Mill Yard ..car parking charges have recently been introduced ..cant remember how much but quite steep if you are parking there for the day ..
The Four passes is pretty brutal, did the route shown by Trail Finder on YouTube on my normal bike.There aren't many high level routes that are fully rideable by E bike.

Skiddaw and Ullock Pike is on my list to do soon
Would the 4 Passes actually be harder overall on an E Bike than an analogue bike due to all the hike a bike ?
The walk mode on my bike (Levo 2020) is actually useless. I have to press the little button on the left hand side just as hard as I would have to push the bike if I was walking
It used to be free but it now costs £10 to park there per day.Just a little update for anyone starting from Staveley Mill Yard ..car parking charges have recently been introduced ..cant remember how much but quite steep if you are parking there for the day ..
That's a shame because my only analogue bike these days is a 140mm Hardtail. After buying my Levo I never thought I needed an analogue FS ever again. Would the Hardtail be unsuitable for the downhills ?You'd have to pay me vast amounts of money to do the four passes on an ebike. I've done it on a manual bike and the hike a bike is brutal, not sure I'd even want the weight/lack of flickability of an ebike for the first descent after honister slate mine.
No chance I’d do it on a 140mm hardtail but I’m sure others would but they’d be sadists who would probably ride it on a gravel bike. There’s plenty of other rides to do in lakes and just skip out on that one.That's a shame because my only analogue bike these days is a 140mm Hardtail.
