Cheers Brian

Nice video mate, some old familiar trails 👍

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Yes mate, you have ridden all these in the past

[@nazcaman]

Only ridden the trail centre trails around there. I know, I know, need to try the bridleways...

[@Lakedistrictrider]

You said it 😂

[@oijhohfvjx]

cracking views as per usual old bean

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Cheers mate. Can't go wrong in the Lakes on a day like that

[@oijhohfvjx]

@@Lakedistrictrider indeed can’t wait to get my new ride finished and get into the sales myself

[@trailtrackermtb]

Nice video I'm going to get some riding in that area eventually looks great.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Lots to choose from around there mate 👍

[@neilparkinson192]

did most of this early in year off trailfinders strava route. these beat any trail centre rides. looking forward to it again when this poxy virus goes away.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Agree with that. Much prefer 'natural' trails to trail centres 👍

[@neilparkinson192]

@@Lakedistrictrider i did several of trailfinders before lockdowns arrived, i got e-bike earlier in year to do these trails. did lakes,peaks n dales. so many permitations especially with the e-bike and a spare battery. i`m in tier 3 so i`m goosed yet. roll on spring.

[@Darthshearer]

Cracking video. Looks like one to do. Is this in your book?

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Cheers mate. This exact route isn't, but pretty much all of these trails are included in the book in different route suggestions. 👍

[@Darthshearer]

@@Lakedistrictrider It's ok, using the video whilst having an OS map with me I think I have it sorted!

[@Lakedistrictrider]

@@Darthshearer cool, enjoy

[@declang5534]

Any tips for people starting to record the mtb rides and put then on KZbin?

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Just decide what you want to do it for and what audience you want to appeal to. Prob the most important considerations. Check out the Loam Ranger for great editing tips.

Finally bought the guidebook after many hours of video watching. With a good lack of experience in the Lakes, is there a place that we could download the GPX files for certain routes like this -- after we buy the book? Just trying to make this as easy as possible for me!

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Hi Ben, many thanks for buying the guidebook (and watching the vids) and really hope you enjoy it. I've not produced any gpx files I'm afraid.

[@benhanley2052]

@@Lakedistrictrider Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll have a crack at mapping it out from the video and see how lost I end up!

[@Lakedistrictrider]

@@benhanley2052 the route from this particular video isn't in the book. Though most of it appears in some of the other routes. This vid essentially does a loop of the lake following bridleways. DM me on i stagram if you are struggling 👍
