Hi all
Im planning a ride in the lake district later in the year whilst on my way to Scotland and Ive always wanted to ride the Hardknott Pass
I remember talking to someone years ago about it and they said doing it one way is better than the other
any ideas ???
mikey
Jetstream will know… 
We did it with them but not sure which way round we went…
was it good?

eezyrida has the information you’re after near the top of the thread.
What Martin said
When in Scotland don’t forget the Cairngorms Pass/National Park. Give the A93 and A939 a go, 100 miles of non stop twisties.
cheers all thats awesome info

Watch out for deer! A massive one came down the bank, over a 6ft fence across in between me and mark and bounced off the otherside … Scary shiteeeee moment.
There’s some gorgeous scenery up there.
Dont bother, its not a ride more a survival course ,there are better roads in the lakes.
Stop at the pub at the top 
As Jet said, it’s a challenging road, you wouldn’t do it other than to get a look at the views… having said that, they are nice 
My feeling is I’m glad I’ve done it but I’d rather now go and do a lot more of the other roads in the area…
