Andy, Col and I headed out today on a cold bright day for a Mountain Bike tour of Skiddaw.
Autumn has quickly turned to winter with snow on the fells over the last few days. We headed out along the Keswick Railway Cyclepath then up to Blencathra centre before heading up to Skiddaw House.

On a bright, clear day like today the views are excellant.

Normally after the descent down Whitewater dash it's just a long road trip back to Keswick, however last year we found a nice little detour that takes in some more off road to the west of Skiddaw, skirting the bottom of Longside Edge. After a cafe stop in Dodd Wood cafe its just a quick climb up Latrigg before the blast back into town.
