    I've watched a lot of mtb stuff on here but this is a very good bit of filming because there's no annoying music its about you folk going out together on a tough circuit the descending was excellent 👍

    Just to enhance viewer enjoyment…….that slope away off the summit is way steeper than it appears in the video.
    I live fairly close by and like to walk it; I am astounded and astonished by those who enjoy cycling up and down!
    I take my hat off! Dare devil stuff. It must be some buzz. Good for you!

    The rocks as you ride off the summit really tinkle , it’s an unusual sound! I remember when we rode it. And Ullock Pike is a fantastic descent. 😁 And well ridden. ✊

      Absolute Lakes classic. It’s changed a bit since I rode it in this video though. Seen a lot of traffic

    I was going to do a Helvellyn route but I think I’ll do this now. Fantastic.

    We got a proper bollocking from an old walker coming down there last year, thought he was going to have a heart attack 😂🤣🤣

      I walk, I live in North Cumbria. I love to see people enjoying themselves and interacting with the mountains!
      There’s no need for bollocking! I love to see the Cyclists; it’s like Parkour; couldn’t do it myself but amazing seeing others.

    Well surely Belinda Carlisle nailed it when she said "Heaven is a place on earth". She clearly meant when riding down Skiddaw with the sun setting and the stones chattering. Truly magical scenes.

    If the ews was in Keswick they could do a shuttle to Helvellyn for stage 1 and 2 shuttle back, ride to Whinlatter for stage 3 and 4 and making Skiddaw the queen stage.

    First time I rode Skiddaw I checked the strava KOMs afterwards, some chap by the name of "Italian Stallion" was about 50% faster than everyone else on the segments. Wonder who that could have been :D

      About an hour of pushing/riding. Depends on where you start from really.

    • @GreatWhyteCreations
      @GreatWhyteCreations  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The one about half way down which is almost impossible to ride? I push down. I only know about 3 people who have ridden that and they are all pro-riders
