Drive up through the lakes and get stuck behind your choice of double decker busses, caravans and tourists. See which of them goes over 30mph first.
Cumbria sucks by motorbike unless you leave stupidly early in the Morning when there's no traffic. I get bored and fed up with traffic every time I go down into the lakes, even on my 350 bullet which tops out at 65mph.
Go directly to Kirkby Lonsdale by the shortest possible route and go out into the Dales. the Ingleton to Hawes road is a bit of a challenge. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

The western side of the Lakes isn’t too bad outside the school holidays and offers some great riding e.g. Birker Fell, Langdale, Wrynose, Hardknott, Wasdale (one of the prettiest places in Europe )
The eastern side past Windermere and Bowness is far too busy though. I usually use the Hawkshead ferry or the Kirkstone Pass & The Struggle to bypass the hordes |

Apart from Keswick, Ambleside and Windermere, I never seem to meet much traffic in the Lake District. Am I doing something wrong? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
