The Black MTB trail at Grizedale

The Black MTB trail

The Black offers an awesome blast of jumps and berms with steep descents, not for the faint hearted. There is a split along this section with options of single or double black trail, watch out for the signs.

Start from the forest road to the east of Carron Crag summit.  It can be accessed following the beginning of the North Face trail to marker number 5 then continuing straight on along the forest road for half a mile.  Alternatively there is a bridleway which can be followed from the visitor centre.
