Don't know Kirkby Lonsdale itself but Settle isn't far if you travelled from east anglia anyway, so thought these links might be useful

I was keeping quiet since I thought the OP might like to stay nearer KL, but
there's definitely some good stuff round Settle, Austwick, Horton, Malham, a
fair amount of it where I start straight from my house :-)

Jonathan - you say easy/moderate - can you quantify that at all? Distance?
amount of hill climbing? Technical difficulty?

cheers,

Quantify ? Ohhh not very well. There's the East Anglia element as I
mentioned, the fact I've only _had_ a mountain bike a matter of
weeks. On the other hand it has been used, I do cycle regularly on the
road with a club, am not bad with hills such as we have down here and
am reasonably lively after a 40 mile road ride. That is I can fall
asleep on a Sunday afternoon in front of the telly whether or not I
cycled in the morning !

So I _do_ want to be exercised and take in some scenery but not find
myself somewhere scary. I should have two or three half days.

I said Kirby Lonsdale but yes of course I can drive somewhere first.

We'll take you for a ride if you want, if you can put up with our speed up
hills (or lack of it :-) ). When are you up?
