A circular, scenic, emtb ride in L.D.N.P including Whinlatter & Bassenthwaite for novice off-roaders

An enjoyable, easy route for the novice off-road mountain biker. The video pays particular attention to the terrain to ensure potential riders can judge if it is suitable for their level of riding ability.
This is a scenic, circular, e-mtb ride in the English Lake District National Park starting from Bassenthwaite Lake and heading up along a bridleway into Whinlatter Forest where you join the Quercus route (blue trail) and ride through the trees and out onto Whinlatter Pass. The route then heads west to Low Lorton where a public way takes you across Whin Fell followed by a number of non-technical bridleways across gravel/grass to eventually bring you back to Bassenthwaite Lake via a steep bridleway through Wythop Woods.
This ride is almost 27 miles long & roughly 55% off-road. Almost all the road sections are on very quiet country lanes and as you would expect, the scenery throughout is spectacular.
This is a lovely route for those riders who don't want anything technical; the routes that are readily available in books, magazines, youtube etc.
I've put together this ride and several others as I've found a distinct lack of detailed information on rideable off-road routes for those of us with mountain e-bikes (hardtail or full suspension) who want to enjoy a non-technical, but fun, ride.
The number of senior e-bike riders appears to be rapidly increasing and I'm hoping these routes will be useful to those visiting Cumbria and the Lake District and maybe even the local residents, like ourselves.
A basic map showing the route is available at the end of the video or you can view the route on Komoot at Cumbrian e-bike trails.

Hiya,,,what app is that you are using?

[@cumbriane-biketrails7944]

Hi there, I use Komoot to plan the rides and transfer to the Bosch flow app which I view on my iPhone or Kiox 300 display.

Hi, sorry to hear this and not sure why you can’t find me as I’ve made these routes public …. ‘Cumbrian e-bike trails’ is my profile name. I only recently opened up these routes to the public and do have some followers so presuming I am visible.
