Jeff's Lake District Ride

Jeff and Kenny are planning a long ride to the lakes next week. If you fancy going with them, details are below .

On Tuesday 5th April (Next week), Myself and fellow member Kenny Bromiley are planning to do a long one day ride  to and around the Lake District.

We will be taking in 5 of the best passes and a ride up the dead end road towards Wasdale head.

We plan on leaving around 7-730am and returning whenever. (Probably as it gets dark)

This will be a long day and the total mileage including the run up the motorway to the start of the route is likely to be approx 350 miles.

We will be taking cameras etc and no doubt be stopping numerous times to use them, therefore the time spent on the route will no doubt be increased.

We will have 2 meeting points if anyone fancies it

The first being Chester Services on the M56 Between 7-15 and 7-30

the second being just north of Carnforth at the Truck Haven service area between 9-930am.This is conveniently placed on the A6 close to junction 35 of the M6 motorway 

Anyone who fancies a long day out in some of the best scenery in the UK and has a day to spare is more than welcome to join us.
