Bikepacking is the off-road equivalent of cycle touring, often
offering opportunities for wild camping in addition to the usual
accommodation options for sleeping under a roof: it promises an
unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the environment as
you explore the best of what the area has to offer on two wheels.
This guide presents eight challenging 2–5 day rides in the Lake
District, suitable for mountain bikes (some routes are also
rideable on a gravel bike). All routes are accessible by public
transport and many can be completed over a long weekend. They are
graded from Moderate to Very Hard, although all involve
considerable ascent and descent and sections where you may need to
push or carry your bike – as such, they are suited to fit
experienced riders. Clear route description, mapping and elevation
profiles are supplemented with a wealth of planning information,
including accommodation listings, notes on facilities, and summary
details (including grades) for each individual section of the
route. Also included are tips on food, kit and navigation and
alternative itineraries. The routes combine roads, tracks, lanes
and bridleways to take you among, around and over the Lakeland
Fells, with highlights including the iconic road climbs of
Hardknott, Wrynose, Whinlatter and Honister; the off-road passes of
Sticks Pass, Stake Pass and Black Sail; and the highest bridleway
in England over Helvellyn, England's third highest mountain. The
guide also features the classic Lakeland 200, which can be ridden
over 5 days or completed as an Individual Time Trial.
Each page features a normal view as well as an bird’s-eye view of
each of Cape Town’s most iconic sites and attractions, with an
extended caption for each attraction.
