As part of our 'training' for the forthcoming Fred Whitton Challenge this
Sunday (is it really that close!), last Thursday/Friday 4 of us rode the
course over 2 days - more to check out the tandem really. We couldn't have
had a better 2 days. The weather was brilliant and the roads were quiet.
I've written up the route and included pictures if anyone's interested to
see what it's like. I can heartily recommend it if you have a couple of
days in the Lakes and want a challenging but absolutely stunningly scenic
ride. We stayed in the Swinside Inn overnight (just off the Newlands
Pass-Whinlatter Pass road) and the views from there in the morning sun were
fantastic.

I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy Sundays ride quite so much! Think I'll be
glad to get round!
Cheeers... Allan.
