Ive een hartside heroes channel and even starred in it 🤣. I've also seen a few accidents on hartside, so I tend keep one eye on other riders/drivers in case they're pushing beyond their limit. Good news is the cafe is returning - let's hope it captures the soul of the old cafe.

Around 4 miles of the best biking road imaginable, i personally prefer going up from penrith side, can hit the corners a little harder when gravity is helping. I live around 30 miles from it and look forward to the challenge 3 or 4 times a year ( weather permitting) when i visit the lake district.
