Done it a couple of times myself on bike John,took Helen over it in the car the other week after we’d stayed in the lakes, she said there’s no F**kin way I’m taking my bike over there, we did it opposite direction, lots of scratches on my cars front spoiler now!!🤣🤣🤣nice vid, cheers Simmo
Nice one mate 🤘I did the Hardknott with Jo on the back. The camera can never get the steepness across, we stopped in the pub at the bottom for a coffee and a biker came over and couldn't get over the fact I did with a pillion? I didn't have the heart to tell I was an amputee as well in case he fainted 😂
I love Hardknott and Wrynose passes, done it every year, and usually do it both ways. Was great fun on the Honda Monkey 125 when I had it, but in 2025 it will be on the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S. A good test of a bikes handling. During the week is the best times to go over as the weekends are absolutely rammed. Hardknott Roman fort is a good place to stop and have a wander up to the fort, really get a good look over the valley. Should have walked down the road a bit, gone up via the bath house where it's a lot less boggy as there's the remnants of the road under the ground. I'm lucky that the Lake District is only 1-1 1/2 hours away from me, can do all the passes in one day.
Yu hit lucky it usually rammed cyclist bikers cars campervans...I'm really loving seeing (what ive done many times as I'm fairly local ) though your first time of riding eyes... wrynose hardknott ...etc... cheers

Yet again, another brilliant video. Maybe purchase a drone for your next trip

Are You still using Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour? Everyone says they are bad tires. What is Your experience? Thank You and stay safe
It's not usually so quiet on those roads, you let lucky with the traffic and the weather. Both can be a lot worse.
