I'm planning to experience the Hardknott Pass this weekend, probably Sunday.

 

No specific times or deadlines so far but if anyone else fancies it I can change my plans to suit.

 

Apparently the steepest bit of public tarmac in the UK, some people even stall going downhill, obviously not on a TDM

The pot holes and tarmac ripple is terrible in parts when we did it last year, with much trepidation.

I wish I still had the KTM 620, it would have been ideal in that case, thanks for the headsup

Mission aborted.

A family meeting in Edinburgh has cropped up for tomorrow.

 

Another time !

Amarko aka hartsideman was our expert in that area. Dunno if he is still riding but may be worth giving him a shout when ewe plan to go.
