Please tell me you did the Kirkstone Pass as well while you were up there !!!

Honister and Kirkstone are brilliant roads…we did a few days camping around there in the (British) summer earlier this year…:smiley:

Some footage from one of the guys on the ride:

Pretty scary going down with all the water…but a blast going back up.
:smiley:

Aye lovely roads. Great fun on a Pan. :smiley:

Been over all the passes many times including wrynose and hardnot but unfortunately only by car but still really exhilerating on the steep bendy bits… fantastic area :slight_smile:

Of course :wink: Heres “The Struggle”…
