Lake District Advice.

churchygti

Hello,

I need some advice, i am 24 soon and my GF is 22 i enjoy riding my mountain bike and have got my GF a new trek. We live it Wisbech which is basically flat land "fenland"we ride together at local rides and green lanes. Which require no hard effort as this is the way she likes it.

In 2011 i would like to go to the Lake District for a long weekend, with my GF are bikes and camping gear.
I have been to Ullswater before on a outward bound week via work and loved the views but was to busy on outward bound to enjoy the area and cycle anywhere.

Im looking for information and recommendation on where to stay "tent camp site" and were to cycle trials that are for beginners as its a relaxing adventure holiday for us to. And the best long weekend to go there thanks.

Thanks.

I've stayed here http://grizedale-camping.co.uk/ before it's a great little site with a sorted owner. They even have pods should you not want to mess about with the tent. Oh and they let you have camp fires to. Awesome at night for a chill round the campfire. It also hits you up onto Grizedale forest which has some pretty decent trails to ride.
