Im a Cumbrian, from Carlisle. Just found out the other day that Del Boy is too.

We have some fantastic roads round here, being a biker its an ideal place to live! In fact im off to look at a new bike today so i can get out there and enjoy them before our summer ends! Hartside and Kirkstone Pass are two of my favourites!

Where you from mate?!

Did you go down the Struggle? Its near the pub at the top before you drop down again and it leads to Ambleside? My brother managed to overtake a bus on the road from Ambleside towards Coniston, that was fun  :scared:
