Cheers Mark.

Mark here is an extra 46 miles for you grasmere - langdale - wrynose - hardknott- boot then turn round hardknott - cockley beck then south towards ulpha and a nice loop then a blast back to ambleside.

Yeah pretty much what I'd planned, but at Boot I'll keep going to saddon bridge and on up the wast water road and swing around from there coming back down the Ulpha rd to Dutton Bridge then the A595, depends on time whether that's Saturday or Sunday morning.

Got to tie a few ends up once done I'll book up Monday.

Cheers Mark.

AMarko5 thats pretty much the route in reverse I was going to do on Sunday but was going to Hallthwaits (at the bottom left of the bottom map) to visit my mum & Dad.

I made a slight detour to Devils Bridge for a Bacon butty and mug of Coffee. if you dont want to do this then let me know.
And I've taken out the Difficult passes, As I might do them on Sunday.
Sunday is do and go where you like, not that Saturday has any rules (apart from the Law / Highway code) either.
Cheers
Richie.

is this the final route as i dont want to miss the Honister pass and always stop at devils bridge on the way home as most do, i think it would be better to miss coniston than Honister its the best bit anyone else agree we should stick to the original hardy bikers. why change a good thing IMO

not fussed really as long as you dont leave me behind somewhere.

Anyone else fancy leaving Devils bridge till sunday and doing the Honister pass, thats the twisty small road between the mountains
this is the original Hardy Bikers if anyone else fancys this its where me n phil will be going if not we'l catch up with you at Ambleside

Either or for me. I've got a free pass for the weekend - so I'm up for mucho wandering around up there.

All depends on the weather for me and what my wife has on that weekend in terms of needing me to do the babysitting. If it's raining heavy I won't be coming at all, and if freezing temperatures are forecast I won't be going anywhere near a mountain pass. If it's mild and dry and I get a weekend pass from the wife, I'm up for any route.
