in planning » Lake District

First longer trip with the RS and pillion coming up! We are going to the Lake District in a few weeks! arriving on the 15th of May. We are going to tour for 5 days and return on the 19th by ferry. I'm looking forward to it and hope for nice weather, dry at least...

I'm away in Ireland on my RS from tomorrow until the 19th. A shame, I live in the Lake District. Is Hardknott Pass on the agenda?

Nice one. Enjoy, where are you heading? I’ll be passing through the Lakes in the summer.

Yes, recommend going via Forest of Bowland as well. The roads there are empty. Will be doing just that myself.

I'm planning on a trip to Scotland soon, as soon as the weather is good enough. I've plotted a couple of routes through FoB to break up the long north/south slog

Thanks for the recommends. Planning on spending a day around D&G then points further north.

I did tour around the north of England a few years ago I like it up there. Only thing I will say though is not to bother with stying at Tan Hill Inn. It's Ok to visit but if you turn up late, cold hungry and tired, don't expect them to feed you.

Routes are all planned, don't know yet if we will do Hardknott, have routes without passes, with Hardknott and Wrynose and one with only Wrynose.

I also have a route that goes to Shap Abbey.

Forest of Bowland does not fit in this trip, maybe some other time.

I'm back from my trip to Scotland, enjoyed two runs through FoB to break up the journey.
On the way north I went over Moor Cock then up past Kirkby Lonsdale finally rejoining the M6 at Tebay.
On the way south I went through the trough from Caton, only got stuck in some traffic trying to get back to the M6 at Preston (the Garmin tried to take me up a bridleway and when re-directed the route went through a lot of towns with cyclists and a convoy of tractors holding everything up).
There are some other parts where you can come off the motorway to enjoy better roads, but the big conurbations near Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow are not so easily avoided.
