Sat int office watching this , 20 minutes of freedom 👌

[@TrailFinder]

Yes Paul!!! That’s what it’s all about.

[@robertsagar5567]

When you say you go left usualy is that down to jacksons ground then round on the higher bridleway is this better than going across long mire great video as always might ride this on Friday

[@TrailFinder]

Yes that’s right. It’s 10 times better. Long mire is really boring and boggy. Avoid.

[@user-om2fg7yh6s]

Quality video mate. Stunning scenery up there.

[@patbriggsmbr]

I really appreciate your videos, thank you so much, so inspirational content. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate

[@rickwalker7227]

Where is your pal on his electric bike, not seen him for a while

[@stephenbrown5844]

Absolutely brutal my friend but looks fantastic and a bit teky... I have done Coniston last year with the gravel epic and it was an amazing day of everything rolled into one😉👌❤️🇬🇧stay safe and sound mate

[@TrailFinder]

It’s not to bad Stephen. I’d say go give it a go 👊👊

[@lobyapatty]

What bike are you riding mate? Reckon these are doable on an orbea oiz 120/120 suspension?

[@TrailFinder]

I ride an ibis ripmo, yeah you should have no problem on that bike,

[@sawreymountainbikers6470]

It's a good route that one, what chest mount do you use? Well impressed with the stability on the footage 👍

[@TrailFinder]

It’s the stuntman. I’ve tried all chest mounts. And this one is the best

[@Thepoeticmtbr_The_poetic_mtbr]

I know you were enjoying the last downhill but I wanted you to stop and show me the big hole in the ground 😃 selfish ****** that I am 😚😉. Great looking ride well captured with great views 👏

[@TrailFinder]

Did you blink for 20 seconds at 2:20 when I showed it on the way up 😂

[@Thepoeticmtbr_The_poetic_mtbr]

@@TrailFinder hehe 😜 I didn't link the two together, cracking hole and well worth clicking your 2 20 link 👏👍

[@rufuswainwright8171]

Looks a great ride. Added to the 2023 ride list 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Nice one Andy; that bridleway down to Stephenson's Ground is worth doing, isn't it? It looks like Walna is a lot more washed out that when I last did it (nearly four years ago) - it needed it. When I rode it with Shaun, it was like a Sustrans path which disappointed me and made Shaun angry 😂

[@TrailFinder]

Alright mate. How are you? Walna top section is ok compared to the rest of it. Seemed better than the last time I went down it.

[@Stopadoodledoo]

@@TrailFinder I'm all good mate, need to get a ride in the Lakes done though as it's been far too long; we still have to do St Sunday Crag, Fairfield and Patterdale of course - I've not forgotten 😃👍

[@TrailFinder]

@@Stopadoodledoo I’m going to the lakes most weekends I think from now on. Was going to do Fairfield today. But the clouds were low , So ended up doing the classic garburn | green quarter | hp plantation. Short but great ride. Let me know when your fancying going to the lakes and I’ll come if free

[@Stopadoodledoo]

@@TrailFinder You know I will mate. Been far too long since we got out on a ride together.

[@5492sparky]

That looks a stunning ride Mate. Superb stuff. 👍

[@Bikeaddict4235]

Great thumbnail too

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks. 😁

[@howardjones8629]

Mate that was epic!

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers Howard

[@SingletrackScene]

Fair play mate!... - You don't half find some magical routes!.. Thanks for the vid!

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Pleased you enjoyed it

[@zacdavis2504]

Another class Video Andy. Keep them coming 👍. Glad you got your phone bk 😂🤦‍♂️.

[@TrailFinder]

Crapped my self abit there. It was on the wall for around 20 mins. Very lucky!!

[@phil.cowling]

Stunning. Thanks as ever.

[@yoavmiller216]

As beautiful as it gets. Great, as usual.

[@bigdav8]

That brings back some good memories, I used to go camping just on that corner near where you parked alot growing up.

[@TrailFinder]

I love reminiscing especially with childhood memories 😁

[@neilbower123]

Thanks for the route. I used your Strava file to guide me around this on Saturday. Loved the Seathwaite descent & not done that one before, so extra thank for that tip

[@TrailFinder]

Your welcome Neil. I loved this ride. One of my favs. That descent is great

[@TCK71]

Great video of a stunning ride.

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Great run that. Great mix of flat out fast and rocky rough stuff 😎👍

[@TrailFinder]

Yeah it’s a good one. Technical enough. But fast

[@gr1809]

Cannot beat mid week lakes in the winter months 👍🏻

[@TrailFinder]

It’s when I do the most of my lakes rides

[@ianroberts5387]

👌👌👌

[@woodchopper1974]

Good food and refreshments are available all day everyday at the Newfield inn at Seathwaite , at the bottom of the downhill at 12:40 👍🍻 Great videos , keep up the good work 👌🏼

[@TrailFinder]

Do you work there? 😂

[@woodchopper1974]

😅 no, but I always call in , muddy bikers are welcome

[@buster7979]

Great vid!! Can’t beat a mid week adventure!

[@TrailFinder]

No other humans

[@philhicks5818]

Love this one , the clarity of the camera is really good

[@TrailFinder]

Hero 11 is amazing. And I do a lot in post also to make it look like it does. thanks for noticing 😂

[@philhicks5818]

@@TrailFinder I’m thinking of getting a camera atm , obvious 2 choices are the hero 11 and the insta 360 , watching yours on a big oled tv last night was really impressive, the scenery did help 😁, I should have been in the dales today but me riding partner is I’ll fingers crossed for next week , it’s a bit of a trek from Oxford but worth it

[@cumbrianrider8903]

Cool to see my local trails from your perspective! Walna to Torver is one of my regular rides and I never get tired of it, 👍

[@TrailFinder]

It’s awesome. Such a good climb up as well as an outstanding descent back down to torver. Coniston area is my fav parts of the lakes. Lots of childhood memories 😁
