A time constrained ride, exploring some new areas in southern Lakeland

The track out of Kendal follows the course of the old Lancaster canal

Bridleway after Natland

A well preserved bridge over the old canal

The trail then goes alongside the river Kent and the footbridge can be seen which offers a shortcut

It's a substantial suspension bridge but only wide enough for pedestrians

and bikes

Whitbarrow Scar from Levens

The last section of tarmac before picking up the bridleway beneath the scar

The quiet track up past Beck Head

With views of the west side of Whitbarrow scar

The rarely visited track over Yewbarrow was excellent
