a couple of things to consider, firstly the crosthwaite rd in Keswick is close for repair until end of April (or so the sign says), so you'd have to take the High hill rd around that part, then we come to what sort of roads are you after ? personally I'd cut off the A595 at "Broad Oak" (first left after the bridge) towards "Mill gate" follow that until it takes you back to theA595 at Dutton bridge then turn onto smithy ln up to Ulpha (rather than follow the A595) and on to do both of the passes (Hardknott/wrynoise) rather than the Burrow loop, that'll add a bit more than just plan A rounds, of course if that's all you want, then your route is fine.

Cheers Mark.
