On arriving at Bowburn to find 12 members waiting for a leader, I volunteer myself if nobody else wanted to take the ride for the day, when I announced to go to the Lakes, there were no complaints!
From Bowburn to Brough [A66] then to Penrith stopping at 'Rheged' for lunch.
We continued on the A66 to Keswick turn of Portinscale [B5292] then onto the[B5289] which took us passed Crummock Water, Buttermere onto Honister Pass, through Burrowdale back to Keswick, from Keswick [A591] to Ambleside, turning left up Struggle Pass to meet the [A592] where we had a short stay at the top of Kirkstone Pass .
Down the pass to Patterdale, Ullswater, Poole Bridge to Penrith joining the [A66] to Brough for a short break, then onto Mickleton [B6276], Eggleston ,Staindrop to Bishop Auckland
13 riders, tail end of a shower going towards Appleby on the morning, a good day, hope all got home safely.
