ABR issue 51 Route Files: TomTom Cumbria Discovery Route

Post by Bryn »

In issue 51 of Adventure Bike Rider magazine we headed to Cumbria to ride a brilliant 146-mile long route around the Lake District, taking in the best roads and sights of one of England's most stunning areas.

Starting in Kendal, the route will take you on a circuit of the Lake District, allowing you to tick off some of the UK's best mountain roads (like Hardknott Pass and Wrynose Pass) and to see some of the best sights on our island (Wast Water is quite simply a delight).

We've plotted the route out so that you can download it, stick 'em in your SatNav and ride it. Simply right click on the attachment below called 'ABR TomTom Route Files Cumbria Discovery Route.gpx' and choose 'Save Link As'. Once you've saved it to your computer load it into your SatNav as per the manufacturer's instructions and get riding!

It certainly is, Jon. Definitely doable on a Harley, though some of the roads will be pretty rough (but still tarmacked).

Well isn't that typical, you come up to my back yard & don't say a word!! If you'd given me a shout I would have shown you the better ways to take some of those passes & dropped in a couple more for you!! ;)
Nice to see our part of the world featuring though, is there a video coming to follow it up?? :)
Regards,
Dave.

We did this very route a few weeks ago and had fantastic weather. I was also quite surprised how many cyclists were on the passes but each to their own :D
It was a long day setting off early from Leeds around 7 am and back just after 8 pm some 308 miles later. But both me and my mate said we would probably do it again later in the year.
