Lake District Run – September 13th 2020

[Dazh]

After the North Yorkshire Moors run i thought we’d be a bit more adventurous and head out to the Lake District. I did the same run last Autumn and it’s a cracking day, a long one but worth it. Plenty of great roads with excellent photo opportunities. I thought it would be easier to take our own food with us than trying to book in somewhere and be pinned down to a time.

Meeting point Wetherby Services on the A1 postcode LS22 5GT @08.30 hrs

Here’s a link to the route we will be doing

Basically we’ll be going Wetherby service>Harrogate>Skipton>Settle>Bowness/Windermere>Ambleside>Rydal Water>Grasmere>Thirlmere>

Keswick>Derwent Water>Honister Pass>Buttermere>Crummuck Water>Bassenthwaite>Pooley Bridge/Ullswater>Kendal>Hawes>Aysgarth>Bedale>then onto the A1 to head home.

Post on here if you are interested.

Cheers,

Daz

Hi Daz, I’m up for this.

Thats a great route and I will wait for you passing on the A59 Blubberhouses/Menwith hill if that’s okay with you.

Be careful on the A59 they have a mobile speed camera that they like to move around on that road.

I am up for it providing my dental procedure isn’t causing me too much of an issue.

Wouldn’t mind joining this, if possible meeting you as you hit the A590? I could wait in the first lay-by and join from there. Travelling from the west coast so would be a bit much to meet at the start. Not sure what time you’d hit the A590 though but could sort it. Let me know if that’s ok!

[Dazh]

Yeh that’s fine Chris, we’ll arrange a time to meet next week 👍🏼

Hi Daz. What’s the script for Sunday mate? Any idea roughly what time you’ll be joining the A590?

[Dazh]

Where is the lay-by Chris?

Marked by red arrow. Just as you cross the bridge over the M6 J36 and onto the A590 the 1st lay-by about 400yds down.

[Dazh]

Touch wood the weather is looking decent 🤞🏼
