We have walked this route and loved the history. We were so saddened by the damage done by the storm.
We thought it was a great place as well Shuna, we had ridden the route a few times and enjoyed it a lot. The Diversion takes you up near Castlerigg which is well worth visiting. The next time we head up to the lakes we will check out the modified route if it is still in place. Steve
Cycle Routes We were walking this the day you filmed. You have us on camera! 😂

Thanks for the feedback, enjoy your walk in the Lake District.
I've a fascination with rail-trails and have only previously seen glimpses of this on C2C youtube vids,so thanks for a very good full video.And thanks for the update link.
Thanks for the feedback Knrst, many of the Sustrans trails we ride follow the routes of old railway lines it's something I always find interesting myself :)
much appreciae the effort made to put this info out - did you ever go back to this trail?
Hi Claire, we have ridden the trail a couple of times, in both directions. However, we have not been able to visit since it reopened. We might make it back in the near future all being well. Steve 🚴♂️ 🚲

cheers +Beatstranger for the feedback, glad you liked the vid. Steve
Is this trail still complete I had heard one of the bridges had been washed away
Hi, the video does mention the effects of the storm, and the description does have a link to the latest information about the route. Hope this helps. www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/caringfor/localcommunities/northern-lake-district-area/keswick-to-threlkeld-railway-path
hi steve can you help me is there a add on you can do to make this ride longer and is the track fully open now
Hi mate, I think this route is still partially closed, there was a diversion taking you up to Castlerigg. I would probably give it a miss for now, what sort of distance are you looking for, parts of the Bay Cycle Way may interest you?
The path has opened again, www.itv.com/news/border/2020-12-04/historic-flood-hit-path-reopens-on-fifth-anniversary-of-storm-desmond?fbclid=IwAR0vkL-OWzCYwhJ7oJvfGb_3yzdP6wfGNxcbyRCNI4Acav7rgaEf_dsGZL8
