Trying a new Highstreet ride

The plan was to have a look at the ridge to the back side of High Street known as Long Stile and Rough Crag.  When we got to the top of High Street we started talking to an old chap about the ridge and how rideable it would be.  He told us that there would be one small part that we would be unable to ride ( Not sure if he thought one of us was Danny Macaskill, unfortunately neither of us are ). Anyway we set off from the top down, the first 30 meters were ok John was taking an enduro line by staying on the grass whilst I was trying the main line with not that much success.  From then on the riding flowed in the form of  'on your bike, off your bike, on, off '  all  the way down.   At one point John thought I was going to have an extremely fast tumble to the bottom  but luckily I survived unscarved  phew! We made it to the bottom then headed along Haweswater to pick up the normal High Street ride.
