My son RA-Luke was coming too, but his bike wasnt ready in time.
We did plan on 2 nights camping, but due to circumstances at home, i had to head back after one full days riding, one nights camping and 300+ miles.
Im not 100% cirtain of the places we rode thro, so hoping Scilly will post on here. I know Scilly got some helmet cam footage, so hoping to see that.
Enjoy! We certanly did!!
....the meeting place for breakfast at 8am in Skipton.....it didnt open till 11am!!
..so we headed on to Devils Bridge at Kirby Lonsdale....and was met by a Great sign!..
Once into the Lakes, we headed for Windermere for our route start. The route (roughly)...
Not sure where this was, but we stopped to brew up, and take in the views...
Heading up past Windermere to Ambleside....
From Ambleside onwards, Scilly took us on some amazing roads! I know we did Wrynose pass and Hardknot pass...twice!! The following pics are before, on and after the passes.
..And on to the passes......
Video's of Wrynose Pass......

....Then onwards to Wastwater towards the campsite......
Video of us at Wastwater......
.....and on to the campsite.....
...and cheeky chilli eating chaffinches!
...in bed, in the rain by 8pm!! No sleep listening to the rain all night. Up at 6am to cook breakfast, then pack up and off again.....
..and back over the passes back to Ambleside for coffee and hot teacakes!
I'll let Scilly tell you his tale of his brakes!!
Some AMAZING roads and views. Shame it was foggy, low cloud and raining most of the time, but a fantastic trip. Thanx Scilly for the tour.
