Lake District

Glenridding Routes - 6 July 2024 We have routes going on both sides of the lake this time out. The lake is Ullswater which is not really a lake and the finish is in Glenridding. We head down the A592 road shortly after leaving the M6 at Penrith and as the road reaches a minor road into Pooley Bridge the…

Keswick Routes - 25 May 2024 With a trip to the lakes and a finish at Keswick this time there are three completely different choices of route. Two routes start very near to each other on the A66 road on the way to Keswick while a third route starts in Keswick. Both the 9-mile route and an 8-mile route start…

The 12-mile route goes up past Whitewater Dash and over Knott and High…
