Gisburn Forest blue trail
#mtb #mountainbiking #gisburnforest
Gisburn Forest has a nice small network of mountain biking trails. I explored the forest's blue trail for the first time with my daughter.
The blue trail is around 5.5 miles long and I think is a suitable introduction to mountain biking for near beginners. Nothing particularly technical and only a modest amount of climbing.

#whitbarrowscar #LakeDistrict #mountainbiking A loop around Whitbarrow Scar. This took place during the early May bank holiday and it was a perfect time for seeing nature, especially wild flowers.

    Hi Ian, I've recently discovered your videos and getting some good ideas from you as I'm based in your area with the Lakes and Dales on either side. A lot of good stuff!

      ​@@TheHowgillMountainbiker-np1ttsorry to hear that. It's been very wet this last few months hey. It was bouncing down here last night. Prob at saturation point up there now. It's better during summer I find. Always nice and quiet around there even in summer.

    I just saw this ride...very enjoyable to be in the soft saddle! Fond memories of this area from my time there (I worked at The Dukes Playhouse in Lancaster) in the early 80's...I will check to the other videos...Not a rider, age 70 but thinking seriously of a trekking e bike...what is your bike? Also, a favourite book, now out of print, "Between Ribble and Lune" by David Pownall....such a special land...and people.

      Hi Peter, I've got a Scott Spark - its a normal bike, not an e-bike, but perfect for my kind of riding
