Grizedale, simply because it leads to excellent natural trails scattered throughout the forest...

Grizedale, but don't do the NFT, get a map or GPS and do some of the awesome natural stuff!

decided to go for whinlatter

set off at 5:45 this morning and arrived there for 7:30, very wet with drizzle but started to brighten up

very rocky not much traction at all but it was a learning curve, excellent ride on both loops wihich gave some toe-curling moments

some lengthy climbs but the descents were well worth it

would recommend, only disappointment was the car park fee (£5 for 4 hours :x )

Cost £6 to park in Coniston today, but all natural ride on Walna Scar and Dunnerdale fells.
Better than ANY trail centre!

But then it is free to ride, and don't suppose you took any time out to help maintain the trails??

Sorry, my pet hate - twenty-odd kilometres of well maintained and free-to-ride trails and people whinge about having to pay to park...

I agree.

I used to ride at Gisburn lots (which is free), but it's a bit of a state now. I'd happily pay £2-3 to park if it meant full time repairs of the track!
