Sunday 28th Dec Ride Hesket Newmarket loop around the Caldbecks amd Skiddaw

By

 Meet at Hesket Newmarket car park at 10 am. 34 miles , approx 2500 feet of ascent. Somewhere between a grade 2 and grade 3 , I hope this will be quite suitable to work off the odd unnecessary mince pie. Cafe stop proposal is the excellent Filling Station on the edge of Keswick, half way. 

The route goes the obvious way over Calbeck Commons, Longlands , Bassenthwaite, past Dodd Wood to Keswick ( care needed, take lights!),then the cycle way to Threlkeld , back to Hesket via Mungrisedale . This route take takes the easier options, if there are takers there are  slightly hillier options back from Keswick.

The route GPX is HERE

Please  let me know if you would like to come along, Wats app preferred but text or email is fine .

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...
