that looks good, but i would make a few alterations (don't like doing the same roads twice )

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.
