Lakes MTB - Grasmoor 'Riding on Marbles'

Another solo mission looking for something new or haven't done in a while and the latter of the two fitted this bill. As you may pick up from the video, I didn't really have a plan when I set off other than to do something in the western lakes and getting up to Coledale Hause on the first climb gives a number of options. I had Grasmoor in mind because I hadn't done it since 2019 and only done it once so decided on that and then a bit of an explore on the return leg which worked quite well
You'll hear me saying that steep and loose are not my thing but willing to give them a try. Based on the Strava times there must be some people who can ride this top to bottom so respect to them. There are no cheater lines on it so a good time means you did well 👏
The weather seemed to behave itself for the day with some low level cloud moving in later but thankfully didn't effect me although a chilly wind got going at higher levels
Bumped into some guys at Whiteless Pike junction and I described it as a 'marmite descent', so judge for yourselves 🤔

Cheers Paul, very difficult that first descent

That first descent reminds me of that Dovestones insanity !

[@mtbnorthwestengland]

Which one, all Dovestones descents are insane 😆
