[@Mark_Page_MTB]

Another stunner! Happy memories from last year as it's where we started our ride to Helvellyn. :-)

Great ride and beautiful scenery thanks for sharing 👍

[@juleskayak]

Looks great, can't wait to do this route. Great video.

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks jules. Enjoy

[@neilbower123]

Another great vid, cheers. Might try it this week combined with descent of Sticks & Seldom Seen if I can get a pass out

[@trevoredensor7114]

Nice filming again !! Maybe consider reversing the route...starting in Patterdale go to the farm and then clockwise around the Lake...then up and over Bedale Fell ...its downhill all the way then through Boredal Hause and down the rocky track back to the farm...great riding ...I think you'd enjoy it ?!!

[@Shaunyb73]

Yet another great video,your bike looks great too,handled some tough looking riding & as for the views,they are unbelievable,out of this world!! 👏👏

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Shaun. Yeah the views are breathtaking in this area

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Nice video, like you cover some of it looked great, other parts the views covered the pedally bits. Wjere you took the thumbnail was stunning! As if you almost went OTB on a climb, that dam wheel spin 🤣 great video as always mate 👍🏼

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Yeah almost over the bars. Knocked the wind out of me as you probably heard 😂

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@TrailFinder I sure did 🤣 make a similar noise in my next video, I just committed 100% and went over 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@Neph-v5r]

Nice mate. You should have popped into our Outdoor Centre for a coffee at Howtown. I ride that area a lot after work. The bridleway you pushed up is horrifyingly fast as a decent & reversing Beda Fell is good. Have a crack at Place fell next time your up as the descent off that is pretty epic.

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Steve. Yeah that 1st climb I did is a great fast descent . Only did it the once but loved it. Beda I imagine would be a really nice climb. Place fell is on the list. Got a ride planned that passes angle tarn. I’m going to go up it then.

[@Neph-v5r]

@@TrailFinder Sounds good, the descent from Angle Tarn to Boredale Hause is a cracking one & following up to Place Fell will make a great day. Have a good one & look forward to the video.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Nice vid mate and thanks for the mention 😀 I came to a similar conclusion, though I have ridden it twice now - with a 10 year gap between, which feels about right 😂 Beda Fell though, quality.

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. It’s a great track. I really enjoyed it. But a lot of effort for not much reward. Absolutely loved beda fell and the climb up to beda. Outstanding views

[@Thepoeticmtbr_The_poetic_mtbr]

Looked a tough ride that, bouncy n bumpy both up and down 😱 sometimes those kinda rides destroy you more than a long steep climb, BUT, what stunning views 😎🌞

[@TrailFinder]

Wasn’t to bad. Enjoyed it. It’s just that ullswater single track section was not much reward for the effort

[@grootjnr]

I'm gonna be staying at Pooley bridge next week. Any other recomendations in that area if this isn't that fantastic? many thanks for the video content.

[@TrailFinder]

Helvellyn 😁

[@alandavidguest]

Looks awesome. Which garmin do you use. I’m thinking of changing mine to something bigger. I use the 520 edge.

[@TrailFinder]

That’s why I upgraded for the bigger screen. And it’s so much better. I’m now using the 1030 plus. I highly recommend. It’s an amazing device

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Great video mate, some fun looking sections, great views (nice bike shot) i don't fancy all that techy climbing for little reward though, i bet it's better on an ebike? enjoyed the video 👍

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Yeah 100% ebike ride. Would be pretty good fun then. Didn’t show much of the climbs on the lake side track. But they were all a push.

[@stephenrogersemtb]

How many miles please

[@shannonmtb]

That 1st climb looks a beast.. 1000ft in 1 mile 😬 do you think you'd get up fully on an ebike?

[@TrailFinder]

I’d defo say an ebike could clear it

[@shannonmtb]

@@TrailFinder looks a great ride 👍👌

[@brendantinsley1888]

I’ve walked the Ullswater Way but haven’t ridden the single track. Don’t think there’s enough flow for me. Great views tho! 👍

[@TrailFinder]

Your dead right. No flow at all. Love walking along it. But won’t bike it again. Glad it’s ticked off the riding list though

[@danmorrison667]

Nice video mate! Sounds like you fixed the squeaking from the last video too, what was the culprit?

[@TrailFinder]

The bottom bracket. It was a little dirty 😂

[@5492sparky]

Great scenery Mate even if the route wasn’t that good. 👍

[@TrailFinder]

Going up that 1st climb. The scenery was breathtaking

[@Josh240694]

How did you get on with repairing the seatstay?

[@TrailFinder]

It’s on its way to me is the new rear end. It’s come from the US so it’s taken 3 weeks. Looking forward to getting it back

[@Josh240694]

@@TrailFinder that's a good do was it under warranty?

[@TrailFinder]

@@Josh240694 unfortunately not mate. Ibis Warranty is for manufacturing defects only. But I did get the part at cost. I got the part at cost because I was honest about how it happened. So happy with the outcome.

[@Josh240694]

@@TrailFinder yeah makes sense, was it cheaper to get the whole swingarm instead of a repair, CarbonBikeRepair do an amazing job and even do a paint match, had my Scott done the paint looked like a factory finish after a downtube repair.

[@TrailFinder]

@@Josh240694 it was around the same price. Slightly cheaper for the repair. But the repair was a 6 week lead time. I get the new part shortly. And it’s just been 2 weeks. Can’t wait to get it back now!

[@neilbower123]

I went to do this loop after coming off Helvellyn, only to discover increasingly insistent signs on gates saying it is not for bikes & "conflict will be caused" I decided to do the right thing & just turn back to my car parked along banks of Ullswater. Doh!! Not sure hoe else you can get to this classic single track, other than up & over from High St descent

[@TrailFinder]

This route is 100% bridleway. Every single part of it

[@neilbower123]

Looks like I missed the right turn up Hause Gate, all the bit going straight on is the part that had all the "not riding' signs. My mistake

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Lovely video mate, really liked the 3rd person shot (I know what a pain they are to get, especially in open countryside - big walk back up to retrieve the camera). It's a long time since I did this loop but I remember coming to the same conclusion that you did; Beda Fell is great, Ullswater singletrack is good but you put a lot of effort in for a series of short fun sections.

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. 3rd person shots are a little easier for me with having a 360 camera. I just plonk it down then set up the shot in edit. Really enjoyed this loop. But like you said. The effort for the reward wasn’t really worth it. Think I’d really enjoy walking it. But don’t think I’d ride it again
