Lake District Routes - Any Suggestions
Hi
I'm going to The Lakes (staying at Keswick) a week on Fri for a long weekend with a few mates and wondered if anyone had any route suggestions? With a link would be even better!
I've done Glenderaterra/ Lonscale Fell, Borrowdale Bash, Skiddaw, Loughrigg Terrace, Old Coach Road and Whinlatter trails many times before and will prob do a couple of these again, but would really love some new ideas.
Thanks in advance

Whadda ya mean I dont believe in god?
I talk to him everyday....
If you have exhausted the Keswick routes you are not too far away to take in some of the Howgills routes such as the above. Others are Cross Fell, Bowderdale/Calf from either Sedburgh or Ravenstonedale. Googling finds various route guides and photo streams.
Lots more rides and choice out of Ambleside.
Takea map into either KMB or Biketreks and they might be able to show you some local specials. Both shops have rides, check their web sites.

Have done the Bash a few times and tbh I think its a tad overrated.
Any other suggestions than those mentioned?
E.g. a specific route from Grasmere or Ambleside?
Have Heard varying reviews of Ullswater/High Street. How hardcore is it?
