Planning a ride out on Sunday the 4th July. The initial idea is to take in some nice scenic roads up to or around Newcastle, have lunch then come back. Simples! Route (provisional): Meet somewhere near/in Kendal, possibly the petrol station on A6 Shap Road, heading north to Carlisle on A6. Take A69 to Newcastle, have lunch. Heading back along the A69 but turning off to Alston, then over Harside top, down into Penrith, then probably to Devils then home. Google maps reckons about 2 1/2 hours to newcastle, so I was thinking a meet up about 10am, to be in newcastle for lunch. Ish. Anyone interested, post below!
