    So here's me looking for a challenge... thinking, I know, I'll take this vintage MTB, convert it to some mega 1x11 gearing, some v brake and wide bars and take it up an actual mountain. Apparently Skiddaw is rideable....
    I don't know if I want THAT much of a challenge. Haha
    Great footage guys and great riding. Thanks!

    Yep. That’s a footpath ergo illegal on a bike in England which is an absolute pain. Here in the Lakes a huge amount of the best rides are footpaths so choose your time wisely. After 10 years based in Aberdeenshire it took a long while to get used to the animosity to MTBers again on footpaths when I moved back to Cumbria.
