An enjoyable, fairly easy route for the novice off-road mountain biker. The video pays particular attention to the terrain to ensure potential riders can judge if it is suitable for their level of riding ability.

This is a scenic, circular, emtb ride in the English Lake District National Park starting from Low Lorton village, South of Cockermouth, and heading off on bridleways across Whin Fell, through lovely countryside, towards Mosser. Another bridleway takes you down to Loweswater shoreline followed by a climb on tarmac up Fangs Brow and onto the coffin/corpse route running above Loweswater, a truly fantastic track. Unavoidable sections on country lanes and more bridleways return us back to the start.

This ride is 17 miles long & roughly 55% off-road. Almost all the road sections are on very quiet country lanes and as you would expect, the scenery throughout is spectacular.

This is a lovely route for those riders who don't want anything too technical; the routes that are readily available in books, magazines, youtube etc. A couple of short rockier sections on the coffin/corpse bridleway are potentially the only trickier bits. I easily rode these but I appreciate everyone has different riding abilities!

I've put together this ride and several others as I've found a distinct lack of detailed information on rideable off-road routes for those of us with mountain e-bikes (hardtail or full suspension) who want to enjoy a non-technical, but fun, ride.

The number of senior e-bike riders appears to be rapidly increasing and I'm hoping these routes will be useful to those visiting Cumbria and the Lake District and maybe even the local residents, like ourselves.

A basic map showing the route is available at the end of the video or you can view the route on Komoot at Cumbrian e-bike trails.
