Updated Itinary:
This is how I see it going at the moment, it may change a bit but probably not much now:
Start 11a.m. from Lakeland Motor Museum, Backbarrow
Silecroft, Whicham (sea)
Muncaster
Hardknott and Wrynose passes
Elterwater
Little Langdale
Ambleside
Kirkstone
Patterdale
Penrith
Alston Moor
Hexham End of day 1
- There are options in there depending on how time goes during the day. I want to do more lanes but think some people will be tired because all the roads need high concentration to drive, plus early starts for people. We will see, but you know what its like..
Start day 2 - 10is?
Whitley Chapel
Rawgreen
Slayley Forest
Blanchland
Chester-Le-Street
Beamish
Seaham - 2 o'clock ish finish
Original Post:
I'd like to do Askham in Furness to Robin Hood's Bay using as many green lanes as possible, dipping a wheel or two in the Irish and North seas and camping along the way.
See September/October Adventure Bike Rider currently on sale in WHSmith for the source of this inspiration.
Probably okay for 4x2 and 4x4 cars, either two or three days (I'd prefer three for the joy of it and to allow for excursions and short daylight hours).
Maybe mid-winter isn't so sensible but early spring March or April could be dry and warm... perhaps.
Anyone interested in joining in?
