3 Passes in the Lake District - Tues 4th Sept 2012

Post by Zed Carer »

I know that this is (very) short notice but a couple of us are going for a run next Tuesday 4th September. We've been trying to find a day that we could make and when it was (hopefully) not going to be monsoon conditions - hence the late arrangements.

We are meeting HERE at 09:30 before doing a circular route taking in Hardknott Pass, Wrynose Bottom, Wrynose Pass, Ambleside and Kirkstone before returning to the starting point. Given the nature of most of the route this won't be a blast - more a scenic run up (and down) some hairpin bends on 1 in 3 gradients!

Pants, I can't make that, otherwise I'd have been there like a shot!

Start point is only a couple of miles from my folks place. Say "Hi" to the cows if you stop for coffee.

Cheers R.

Can't do :(
But, having driven the Zed over Kirkstone Pass last week, I heartily recommend it to anyone who can join your cruise - will be a marvellous drive!

Now is that the "English" or the "Italian" lakes :?:

I got caught many years ago when I was watching footie on the telly and my wife mentioned going on holiday to the "Lakes" as some friends had already booked. It was the next day when passports were mentioned that I realised my mistake. :shock:
