these images will give you an idea of one route i would love to take you all on

if you suffer from vertigo possibly do it blindfolded laugh.gif

did it on the 18th in appauling conditions ( the tdm copes amirably but the trumpet struggled wink.gif )



if it's wet i have other routes but just for the scenery alone this is amazing (when it's fine) the views are either side of hardnottpass (wrynose aint as steep) one runs into the other and no there aint any other way down once you comit thats it.

single track road with passing places good.gif

Good man Amarko, Hardnott's gotta be a must sometime over the weekend. I'm starting to twitch just thinking about it. Just got to get me back tyre changed and we're ready to go.
