SUNDAY 12 APRIL 2009
73 MILES 2120 METRES
headed down after Clachnaben for a scoot round a few Lakeland passes on the bike with Moira. Lovely sunny, if cool day. Started in Langdale headed up Red Bank to Grasmere, up Dunmail Raise, round Thirlmere to Keswick and up over the Whinlatter Pass to Lorton for the first tea stop in the village hall; down some fantastic lanes and quiet high moorland roads past Loweswater, Ennerdale and Eskdale Green for another feed; then we headed up the infamous Hardknott Pass, a 1000ft climb, down into the Duddon valley and then another 1000ft up Wrynose Pass before we tackled the final climb up to Blea Tarn and down to the finish in Langdale. Just over 7 hours incl stops.
