200 miles today in memory of Paul who drowned trying to save his Labrador - the dog survived
his biker mates ride every year

Good gathering to remember a friend Notty. Not a bad looking day for a ride .

I think this counts as a successful post service test ride.
The oil leak from the cam cover is cured and I did the Kirkton, Honister, Whinlatter, Hardknott and Wrynose passes in the Lake District during a good 364 miles on my bike today.

Hardknott is the steepest road in England for your convict types, it's a 1in3 at the western side. So that's the side I went up...

Great ride & pictures Hooli.  Unfortunately the camera will never do justice to gradients, from the pics it looks just like our Porters Pass.

[Hooli]

The other trouble is there's no where to stop on the steepest bits either.

Not doing harknott again as it put a dent in one of my downpipes   

My helmut cam was pointing too high as well!!!

[Cykik]

A mate of Proteus & mine did Hard Knott 2up, hard enough to do solo!!!

That road up to the Denniston Mine is pretty steep Col. I know you are familiar with it. What do you reckon the gradiant of that is.
How long is Hardknot. I play tennis with a Scotty he seems to think it is also known by another name. Said something about Applecross ?

Quite by chance I found this photo of Sophie and 2 of her mates from a time before I sold her..
Ironically the 2 other bikes have been sold and replaced since this photo was taken October 2018
It was taken in the Trough of Bowland on a small bridge that crosses a stream..
Blime that was just before i sold her !

[Tony Nitrous]

Can't remember if I posted these somewhere...

Wow, what a tree

Hardknott is 1,289ft high & as it's near the coast I reckon it's about a 1,000ft climb on the actual pass.

Applecross is the 'Pass of the cattle' in Scotland, a totally different pass to Hardknott which is in the English Lake District.
