Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Here are a few of my holiday pictures for anyone who may be interested. A cracking little cafe right next door to where we stayed in Keswick called The Filling Station always had interesting stuff parked outside and lots of yummy bikers. We managed to find a V8 Marlin who was also on holiday. Heading out to the Honister Pass, video going on YouTube soon. That's all folks, hope you enjoy. 5 Quote

John K Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 That road looks superb and you have a really, really nice looking car. When I was a scrote in short trousers I had my first ever school away trip to Keswick. Wish I wasn't too decrepit to remember it... Quote
Andy Banks Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 We were there in August, sadly Westyless but we did take the big fat Beemer across, Hardknott, Wrynose and Kirkstone passes Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Ah yes the Honister pass, my legs are still recovering I like the last bit before you descend into Seatoller, theres a big sign at the top that says "cyclist are strongly advised to dismount and proceed on foot" well thats a challenge innit? So off I went, i remember passing quite a few cars on the way down The only problem was at the bottom I had to wait for the wife for 20 minutes as she walked her bike down Quote
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Pete... How far over how many days...we had a cottage booked for a week so we were based in Keswick. The first day clashed with the kit car show at Donnington so we went there first, left about 3pm, called in home to load the car up and then went to Keswick over a very empty A66 bathed in evening sunshine. One of my other hobbies is scrambling and yomping about on mountains so a lot of the holiday was spent doing that. We went over the Kirkstone Pass as we went to Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. Two trips over Honister Pass, one to spend the day at Buttermere and one for the hell of it (and a cup of tea). We also went to the Langdale Valley and the Borrowdale Valley. It all ended quite spectacularly by meeting up near Windermere the following Saturday on the West part of M Van Zellers C2C for the journey home. Well sort of ended, we went to the East part of Martin's C2C on the Sunday. Needless to say I did actually hand the keys over to Glen on Monday when he suggested a run to Bakewell via Matlock.
