Kirkstone Pass Via "The Struggle" On A Triumph Bonneville - POV Ride (No Music) - Lake District UK
Waterhead, just outside of Ambleside to Hartsop, near Patterdale, via Kirkstone Pass & The Struggle on a Triumph Bonneville T100. A nice relaxing ride along one of the most recognisable roads in the Lake District in Cumbria, UK. There’s no music in the video, just the lovely, deep rumble of the Triumph Bonneville Peashooter exhaust pipes resonating throughout the majestic, mountainous landscape. Along this route you’ll see a few interesting and history rich sites, including the peculiar Bridge House in ambleside and the ancient pub The Kirkstone Pass in, which has been service food and ale to weary travellers and curious tourists for over 500 years! The weather wasn’t the best for this run, I decided to head up there for a birthday ride (my birthday is in February 🥶) and was met with low clouds and cold, damp roads. Still, it looks pretty cool to enter the clouds on ascent and come back out the other side on the decent and makes for some pretty cool scenes. Post in the comments if you’ve done this journey and you thoughts.

I’ve got a video of the full thing on the channel if you want to see what it’s like 👍🏻. You’re going to love it though mates, there some awesome roads and even better views.
