Currently sat in a cafe in Lockerbie, pissing it down, gear is holding out.... just!

Now in Ambleside, rained all the way from Glasgow!
Gear is on the edge 😩
Just sat in Costa debating if we should do a run on Britains most dangerous road!

[Proteous]

Well because im a bit of an arse, i would still go just because its not something i would have chance to do again for a while.. Im not there but i have been and let me tell you it was a warm dry sunny day and 8 out of 10 of our group did not like it and did not want to do it again... You have shit weather after a hard day of shit weather... no one would blame you for not taking the risk..

*EDIT*
Your at the struggle!!!! Ambleside is where the struggle is... do it do it do it...

[Red Biker]

Lol bailed out I'm afraid
It really isn't pleasant, we have another chance in the morning 👍
Having a few cold ones as I type 😎

Cheers

Anyone seen a GSX!
It's a Black one....

[Hooli]

Dunno what ya all worried about. First time I did Hardknott was on a well loaded RF600 with carb issues so it didn't work below 5k rpm. I got to the end, turned round & went back :D

Think i would rather be enjoying a beer as well Red, rather than riding further in that shitty weather.
Hope it clears up

That's the problem Red, you're looking for a black one, you should be looking for a grubby black one!

[Kiwifruit]

Red.....which colour, so many to choose from.

[Red Biker]

Morning all,
What a difference this morning, it's dried out and bright and 😎

Very funny Fruit 😡

Last day today, started with a continental breakfast ( you'd like this Col) known locally as 'Grafters pasty,

Hardknott here we come 🤘

sorry scotland didn't welcome you with great weather but glad you having a fantastic and safe time away on the bike.
only 1 thing to watch from today's post is dont bite your fingers off as your very close to them on that grafters pasty

[Sweaty]

Glad to hear the sun is shining Red & have a great trip back

That's a good looking & substantial pasty Red, that'll set you up for a while.
Have a grand day & be safe.   Have to start planning a wee jaunt of my own after reading your adventures.  No potholes though.

Cheers.

OMG HardKnott
Very challenging but what a road!

You don't really get a feel for it from the pics but it had everything a biker doesn't normally like: water,gravel, 1:3 gradient with extreme tight turns
but loved it
