The old Roman Road from Slaidburn over Salter Fell to Wray. Wow! Empty, fab views, nice descents, technical loose bits and some wicked climbs. Learned on Sunday that Hols is better than me, so just let her power it on her little bike while I walked/pushed some of the steeper bits. Loved being out there, it really felt like the middle of nowhere, and a fab garden centre cafe at the end for me & Hols to wait while Stodge went back to get the car (he left us at the first signs of civilisation at High Salter, so missed out on the steepest climb, but he had dropped us off 2 km or so from the YHA to miss out some of the climb, too).
And it stayed dry all the way, despite the weather forecast being for wet, wet, wet.
Fab weekend of outdoors fun, plenty of exercise, very few people around, stunning scenery, an old-fashioned YHA and an eclectic mix of people. Brilliant :)
