Join me on an unforgettable mountain biking journey starting from Rosthwaite, following the Cumbria Way into the Langstrath Valley to Blackpot Moss, a hidden gem popular in summer for wild swimming and cliff diving near Eagle Crag and Rosthwaite Fell. From here, the adventure ramps up as I push my bike to the top of Stake Pass, rewarded with jaw-dropping views of iconic Wainwright peaks: Pike of Stickle, Loft Crag, Pavey Ark, Thunacar Knott, and Harrison Stickle.
The route continues with a challenging ascent under the shadow of Bow Fell (across Rosette Pike) to Angle Tarn, then the final push to Esk Hause – an epic struggle, but worth it for what comes next.
The reward? England’s longest non-stop bridleway descent, starting from Esk Hause down to Sprinkling Tarn under Great End, past Great Gable and Styled Tarn, before turning onto the bridleway to Seathwaite. This descent is my personal favorite in the Lake District – technically demanding, rewarding, and offering multiple line choices for all abilities.
To finish, I hit the Castle Crag Bridleway, only to run out of battery 2 miles from the finish – a harsh reminder of the limits of an e-bike on epic rides!
