Im on the hunt for some big natural downhills in the lakes, north yorks and northumberland. Im not too bothered about doing the big slog to the top solong as i get some amazing downs to go with it.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any routes that might be good for me? I read somewhere that Walna Scar in the lakes has a look with a killer 4km descent?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Rob

    Its 7km from the summit cairn if you carry on down the side of Latrigg into Keswick 8)
    Hell of a push up though,not too technical but fast.
