Stick’s Pass Lake District MTB circuit - MBR

About trip

Stick’s Pass has been re-christened Sick Pass in the mbr office. But don’t be put off: it wasn’t the altitude that made us giddy. This trail, whether ridden as part of an expedition up Helvellyn or approached from the north over the Dodds, is a fantastic mix of challenging rock gardens, sweeping turns, heather-lined singletrack and disused mines. The icing on the cake is a bewildering clatter down a precipitous scree slope that brings you back into Glenridding.
