Guest Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm travelling across from otley - harrogate - ripon - masham - bedale - hawes - sedbergh then drop into windermere.Once at windermere was going to go kirkstone pass to ulswater then maybe a return run?To be honest have not decided what route around the lakes i'm taking until i get there so i'm free to meet up at any point.Let me know where you are and what time - i'll see if it works with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 it seems the usual crew have other plans, last minute and all that.. I could be up for a ride, just waiting to see how much the cars gonna cost..if your going to Hawes, i would recommend taking the road to ingleton, fantastic road, left up the hill after the petrol station... in ingleton go straight over the first junction, and then at the pub/main road take a right to Kirkby Lonsdale...come down the hill past the camera (40) and take the right into the car park, at Devils Bridge.. if i am out i could meet you there, will PM my numberthen into the lakes, you could do the scenic route up to keswick through windymere, ambleside to keswick, and then over to penrith Brough and home, or kirkston pass, ullswater into penrith...

Guest Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Had a good run today, met up with Steve (Steve.N.Yorks) and Matt (Jade Mongoose) at Rayrigg Motors, Windermere, went up to Kirkstone Inn, to meet Carole (wiggleit), who had been waiting at another Kirkstone Car Park... travelled up the side of Ullswater to Rheged, for a brew, and natter..Carole left for her Girls nite out, and we headed for Penrith & Langwathby..took the following routePenrith, Langwathby, Culgaith, B6412, Temple Sowerby, Kings Meatburn, B6260 Orton, Tebay. A685, towards kendal, then turned onto the B6257, and then onto to kendal, and Kirkby lonsdale, then made are own ways home..the Tebay-Kendal road was ace, but I wasn't impressed by the B6257, a lot of bumps, and mostly single track, the road from Temple Sowerby to Orton, was great some long straights, plenty of visibilty and the scenery was bad either..

Guest Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Si... just a quick line to thank you, matt an carole for the meet-up and welcome to the area.I enjoyed the day, although that B6257 was a bit harsh on my wrists and back !! - leave that road for the 'cruisers' I say.Anyway, got home safe and sound - the Guiness went down a storm saturday night !!!......till next time, ta ta for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggleit Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Was a good day - nice to meet you Steve and good to catch up with Simon n Matt again.Fabulous weather and that run back down Kirkstone and along to Penrith nicely stretched my 'comfort zone'....just what I needed Oh...and I missed my train..too long in the bath...

Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 ......likewise Carole,Just remember to keep on 'stretching' your comfort zone, by doing so "safely" will make you a more competent and faster rider ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
