Lake District Help

Afternoon all.

Me and a friend are going on a little biking trip for 3 days up in the Lakes.
Were staying in Seatoller just down from Keswick and I was after some road names/numbers that we should definatly ride?

Both scenic and good riding roads if that's ok.
I know that Honister Pass is just around the corner and that's supposed to be great!

Any tips on light weight things I should take?
I've got tools, fuses, gaffa tape, waterproofs, sleeping bag, mini airbed and cooking/eating stuff.
Any other handy things I should take?

Tahnks in advance

could do the road up through Ulpha to Wynrose, a bit tricky(for me) but loads of fun, that should open it up to the other passes too.
I think if you PM'd Rictus he could send you the directions that we rode through there a couple of weeks back

Also, Hardknott and Wynrose (as DB says), then turn sharp Left for Blea Tarn, Red Bank, Grassmere, then Ambleside, up the Struggle and then over Kirkston pass to Brothers Water.

Yeah as dizzy said covered most of that recently

Here's my route



some very nice roads there, want more detail, PM me and I'll give you the list version I worked from.

Cheers Mark.

No that's perfect.
Just the kind of thing I was after!

Thanks for your help.
