An easy, scenic, mostly off-road emtb ride down Mallerstang Valley and onto Smardale Fell, Cumbria

An enjoyable ride 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.
Scenic, fun, emtb ride along the Mallerstang Valley, Cumbria (now part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park) with a visit to the ruins of Pendragon Castle before an easy climb up Smardale Fell.
A fabulous route for those who are young at heart but who don't fancy the more technical, high-level routes; the routes that are readily available in books, magazines, youtube etc.
This route is 24 miles long and roughly 65% is off-road mainly across rough grassland and loose gravel/small stones trails, with the remainder on quiet country lanes.
A basic map of the route is available at the end of the video.
I've put together this ride and several others (work in progress) 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 an easier ride. I've spent considerable time walking bridleways to assess rideability as many are just not suitable for our needs or just overgrown!
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.

Yep we went full suspension and now ride the Cube Stereo 140 TM ebike, a great bike for trails we ride. As I wear spectacles I found the kiox display a tad small and the direction page a bit basic so opted to use my mobile with the Bosch phone holder and that works well for me. Maybe this is why Bosch have brought out the bigger Kiox display! Also I like changing the settings for the various riding modes using the flow app and hence why I’m not always in emtb! 🤣 😉 Have fun on your new bike 👍
