Mtb or Gravel bike ride from Threlkeld, Sunday 29th June

By

Mtb or Gravel bike ride from Threlkeld Car Park (GR 318258) at 9.30

Starts from a small car park past the village primary school. The route from here goes past the Blencathra  centre onto a BW that eventually goes to Skiddaw House.  We follow the BW and go downhill past Dash Force to the road. The route then goes along small lanes to Fellside. Here we rejoin the BW onto the Caldbeck Fells. We go past old mining areas to Calebreck to join the road. We can either return to the Threlkeld Car park via the Old Coach road or via the gated road from Mungrisdale back to Threlkeld. Please bring something to eat and drink as other than the Quaker meeting house at Mosedale there are no suitable stops for refreshments.

Holiday Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st September

By geoff
  With thanks to Adella, we have identified an option for a holiday at Cote Ghyll Mill Youth Hostel near Osmotherley , east of Northallerton . There looks to be a great choice of road cycling gravelling and MTB nearby.  We are proposing to book the hostel entirely for our use from Thursday 18th September to Sunday 21st September . The property does not do self-catering; we either take B & B or full board including a packed lunch and 2 course evening meal and the full board option is very economical so that is what we propose. The property has 14 bedrooms each with 2, 4 or 6 beds in them and all of them are ensuite. I have worked on the basis of 2 people sharing a room but one room (at least) could be turned into a single-sex dorm style room. They are all bunk beds but 5 of the rooms have a lower bunk which is a double bed. If 2 people are in a room for 4 (or 6) they will both be able to have a lower bunk I have worked out the cost on the basis of 2 people sharing each roo...

Trivets Wednesday 2 July 2025

By
We had another successful planning meeting on Thursday – thanks to all those who came along. If it isn’t there already, please put the date of 2 July in your diary for our Trivets event starting from Dalston Victory Hall. This is a great opportunity to showcase our lovely area to visitors and the figure of 8 route from Dalston, taking in Mungrisdale in the morning and the Solway coast in the afternoon, does just that. We’ve been running Trivets events at least from 2010 – that’s as far back as Nigel and I go – and even if you aren’t up to the riding, it’s always a great day, meeting like minded cyclists and having fun. We can’t do this without the full participation of the club so we hope you will volunteer to help. There is a form to complete to help us spread the jobs around and to make sure we don’t end up with not enough soup and too much crumble! Please take a moment to complete it here Registration for entry is also now open; visit our website or go directly via this link ...
