Biking in Lake District


At short notice four of us set off for Elter Water and the Youth Hostel for a weekend's mountain biking. It was torrential rain on Saturday so apart from two hours later in the day in the pouring rain, we spent time at the Watermill (en route in Ings) and then the Britannia Inn. Sunday was better with the odd cloud burst but an excellent ride with fantastic views and scenery especially as the rivers and feeders were all flowing at capacity. The Britannia is holding a Giant Marrow competition on Monday September 19 in the back bar. We are planning our entries.
