tiz ok about the garmin routes. i can make them from google maps
![]() it's routes that are good on the bike with nice scenery i'm looking for. taxing routes will have to be nearer the border as they take a bit longer to do, longer runs would mostly be main roads but not major roads and i most defiantly don't like motorways. |

Will post a route from Wast water to near mine via the Hardknott. Don't let folk put you off the passes, yes they are narrow and steep (30%) but I've done them both ways on the SV650S and the gixer.
