It's a great road but very unforgiving if you fuck up you'll hit a stone wall or an oncoming car probably  Plus you've got chavs cutting corners, coaches taking up the road road etc. but yeah. I was chasing a busa down there once and he just waved me past, looked like too much work for such a heavy machine, it was taking off on the bumps and alsorts, I was entertained  There's also a road near the pub and car park that you can take, it's interesting too, it's very, very steep and twisty and narrow, cagers usually ruin it but some times you get lucky.

Yep going up the Pass was great, going back down was very hard work as the 7 isn't exactly light.
I came back up from Ambleside on the road I think your talking about (The Struggle). I got caught behind some cagers until the front one stalled on part of the steep bit which allowed me to nip round them 
They had signs saying it will be closed on Sunday 7th for a Triathlon.

That sounds absolutely brutal

Different group of Jocks to the ones who we were camped with, bunch of cruiser riders who said nowt but "fuckin' fuckety fuck" & smoke joints all night long
Did see some of them lads your on about making arses out of themselves during Toseland, pushing into people and making big man gestures to anyone who looked at 'em funny.
Was meant to go on the big yellow ride thing but got defeated by the Waltzer +8 or so cans of Red Stripe before we could make it over, made a nice comfy bed out of a bin then hobbled back....good night I reckon .

Yeah.. that's the place.. I paid 6 quid for that what's on the plate + a cold drink. After 2 hours of riding the chairs they had outside were very inviting. Also on a positive note that egg and bacon didn't give me diarrhoea
