Its meant to be a grueling 2 hour climb then a great 1 hour down hill .
I want to have a go but dont know where to start from . and what post code to use .
Thought about doing the loop but that would fucking kill me .

Not to the top of the mountain ... But you will be pushing up most of it by the way Head for the Latttrigg car park which is just outside Keswick and that will get you part way up .
The loop incorporating the Caldbeck Fells is fantastic by the way and well worth doing.
We will probably be doing this again before the end of the year.. I will let you know when ... In case you change your mind.

In case you change your mind. hay i would do the loop just not now as need to get fitness back , amazing how much fitness you can lose over 2 months and 2 months of eating to much crap . even when i had the fitness it was only at 60% of what i could do 4 years ago . now im at 20% fitness . thing is i can do 50 mile xc around farm lands/country lanes where i am now but not 50 miles around a friggin mountain lol. would love to do it though and yes please give me a shout and then will say yay or nay .. thanks |

If you decide to do the loop around Skiddaw you can nip into Dodd Wood, to avoid some of the road which is not nice. Your not supposed to but I would prefer to tangle with walkers/forest ranger than trucks on the road!
