Guest Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 After Akey and willows beetle run, and my ride back fom Scotland, I came across some outstanding areas of history, so have decided to think about a Myths and legends run..so far..George & the Dragon Pub, ShapGreystoke Castle (Legend of Tarzan)Hutton in the ForestKing Arthurs Round Table, CA10Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswickanyone think of any others in the Area... Adding in...Lowther Castle, and the folklore of the Lowther Oak Tree...Shap AbbeyHaweswater Reservoir, Mardale Villageand the Bridge House Ambleside..Think thats enough,Just need to plot them on a map, to obtain a direct route for all, should be fun, Vicki, will put up pictures and the myth/legend once the run has been completed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakeatron Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 A bike is for riding Simon not for looking at - so it will be getting used in all weathers!But it might get a few more washes than the other one Still got your fighter bib as well - and its still attached to the hanger! Will drop it off at the garage next week if your in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jade Mongoose Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Haweswater Reservoir?!? Are you sure? It's a bit of a bone-shaking ride. Lucky i'm working cos i'm never EVER going down that road again on a bike!I know a good dentist in Kendal who can replace all your teeth when you get back from the ride though.....
