Ride out from Keswick to Portinscale, where the hikers take the path for Cat Bells (451 m.). Bit of fun in Brandlehow Woods: relatively dry but enough muddy leaves, rocky fords plus a couple of extended technical downhill sections good enough to climb back up and ride again. Crossing the River Derwent at the footbridge opposite the Lodore Falls.
