No but a couple of people I go out with have and said its good.
I love the Altura Trail at Whinlatter.
There's a blue trail there too but dont bother with that as its a bit boring in comparison. You get lots of families going round it, very tame

Yeah you'd be ok, its in the middle of nowhere but if you go via Hawkshead the road is single carriageway in each direction for most of it.
If you are using a sat nav or route finder it'll probably try to take you up a long singletrack road which does get you there but its crap if you meet someone. So put in via Hawkshead and you'll be ok.
The North Face Trail isn't that good if thats what you are going for... the best stuff is the bridleways. If you want to know which ones I think are good just ask.
