Exploring the bridleways around Troutbeck and taking a look at the start of the trail that goes up and over High Street. A murky day but with some interesting fords and a few challenges in Skelghyll woods.

The most 'interesting' ford

Decided that's far enough for a recce

The cows didn't mind my noisy brakes
