I met Faye & Vickie from work in the Climbers Shop at 10.30 after buying a pair of mountain bike SPD shoes in Ghyllside Cycles and then bought a small OMM 10 litre daysack in the Climbers Shop.
Pippa was made very welcome in the shop and had loads of attention with the customers.
After recovering from my purchases we headed for Moor Top in Grizedale and had a great time picking a new route around the forest and taking in some of the North Face Trail.
At Satterthwaite we bumped into another group and one girl stopped and made friends with Pippa, regretting not having bought her collie along too.
As I’m not the best mountain biker in the world I fell off three times on the North Face Trail and ended up in the mud several times.
A lovely ice cream at the visitor centre rounded off a fab day.
Thanks girls, for letting us come out to play.
Mountain biking isn’t mountain biking unless you eat a little dirt. 😛
Sounds like fun – and finished off nicely with an ice-cream – perfect!
