I'm a Belgian citizen and i went to the Lake District in 2019. I loved it and offcoarse the Hardknott was on my list. Loved it especialy with a GS is fun to ride.

For sure as you say it's an awesome place to ride. After my first ride there 2 years ago I went back last year as you can see from the vids. Can I ask where else did you target in your tour in the UK in 2019?

Done 2,4 day trips to the lakes in the last couple of years. Stayed in the langdale valley, right in the middle of the lakes. Done all them roads , plus quite a few more. Hardknott was in the clouds when I did it, couldn't see more than 50 yards . Bit of a bum twitcher 🤪🤣. Love the video, can't wait to go back 👍

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Agree with u Michael, when the weathers good its worth going for 3-4 days to soak up some great touring roads & scenery. 50 yard visibility 😱 yikes, I can only imagine how u must have felt going for that as we know you can't stop when fully committed. Thanks for your compliment, much appreciated 👍

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Ian Wow, I tip my hat to you, what a trip, glad the vid made it more fun but a full itinerary you have just done with the NC500 I imagine being the cherry on the cake? I postponed the 500 in early May due to bad weather but hopefully later this year. Any tips??

[@ianaquilina9139]

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Hi Daz, the only tips I have for you is to give yourself plenty of time. There are so many great views and places to stop do want to give yourself plenty of time. I also agree with everyone who recommends doing it anti clockwise. 👍🏻

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

@@ianaquilina9139 Great thanks for that, I'll make sure I factor in not to have a deadline to keep to so I can relax & enjoy it. I did gather it would be better to go clockwise though? Teapotone & another guy recommended that way as on the West coast you'd be on the left lane looking out to sea. But I guess the reason to go anti-clockwise is that the trip can end on a high on the west coast as opposed to the not so pretty east coast & that boring road that goes south? 🤔

[@volt8684]

I cam round a bend onto a hidden crest in wales and there were about 30sheepin the middle of the road. I was doing ##mph and could not stop so took the grass…… successfully but VERY lucky. Sheep did not move just stared. Lovely vlog

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

OMG 😱 I can imagine that moment as we have all come across sheep wondering around at the side of the road in Wales. I guess the retrospective point u will agree on in hindsight if you were to go through that section again is the ##mph you entered the crest. A great save though volt to avoid the collision 👏👏

[@stephenrichards4962]

I’ve done hardnotts in the car and on my old st1100 yes is challenging in places but it’s not that hard. Every one misses a great road biker fell. If you come from little langdale side you turn left instead of crossing the bridge. At the far end of biker fell there are some challenging roads before you hit the main road again. But lovely views on a bike going across.

Wow Kevin I'm so envious of u living within reach of that area. Such a great place for u to saddle up & take a ride out around that location. Can you recommend any places to stop for a snack/biker friendly cafes along the route. I know there's that one in Penrith, I mean along the passes.....

[@kevinclose5339]

@Dazmatron Motorcycle Trips Sykes cafe in Buttermere is excellent and an ideal stop between honister pass and Newlands Pass. Also if you drop into Melsonby before or after hartside pass ( it's at the bottom of hartside on the penrith side ) there's a great bakery and cage there . The best place though is the Nook cafe. Top place

Just about to do a Friday to Sunday trip to the Lakes from Scotland. in a couple of weeks. Will be traveling down on the Friday staying in a B&B, do a full day in the lakes Saturday then head back home Sunday. Think i might do this route. looks awesome mate.

[@Lochwood92]

Do you recommend your B&B?

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Arh awesome mate, im jealous! Hope the weathers good for you. One of the best rides I've done you will be content doing the route I did Lochwood. Enjog all those passes! Drop me a message next week & let me know what you thought of it & whether it lived upto your expectations?

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Re the B&B, it was just the otherside of the Alston & the Hartside Pass. As u seen in the vid. So not far from Penrith where I started the loop. The b&b was ok, the room although I was the only one there is shared, so a single bed & a bunkbed. If I went again I'd perhaps look at stopping in Alston itself as there's all the local shops & pubs in walking distance.

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Sorry Lochwood, just seen this extra question re the B&B, there was no heating just a plug in heater in the lounge bit. So if it's cold, be prepared for that as it's quite exposed on a hillside. But the kitchen was big with a double gas cooker, beds were a bunk bed and a single. the host was very nice & asked if i needed any bits of food whilst i was there. All in all cheap & cheerful, only needed it for that as most the time i was enjoying the passes :)

[@alanoliver11]

I'll definitely go back next year as its the best ride to date (did I mention that lol) Yes I thought the same & perhaps go anticlockwise next time. I'd like especially to do the Hardknott the other way. Really appreciate you're comments 'Frodo' 😃 Ride safe, Daz.

[@volt8684]

I ve done the hard not and think it wasn’t as bad as I feared. Like you say keep moving do not let engine chug as risk of stalling and falling. Heads up observation as stopping could be a problem. Stay away from edges of road too as slight deviation can be off

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

I'd like to get back up & do the reverse loop of the Lakeside Tour, its sooooo good. A subscriber said its more challenging anti clockwise so I'm intrigued to do that. Yes there is certainly a knack to getting ul it 👍

[@sirkristoferTV]

Ive got a triumph Tiger and I refused to do the hard knott pass on it. I did it on my widdle 125 with it screaming in 1st gear. I woundly risk it on my tiger cos its top heavy and I cant pick it up if it falls over and Im nervous rider at the best of times. Fun though!

[@sirkristoferTV]

I went the other way too

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Perfectly understand you're reasoning, plus it wouldn't have cost as much damage on the 125! I test rode the Tiger as you say it is top heavy. I bet it was just as much fun on the 125 though?

Obviously it's going to depend ones riding experiences, I've been back riding the GS1250 3 years now, the whole route is relatively easy I'd say all except for the Hardknott, but even that I'd say wasn't that bad. Someone mentioned to me it was harder anti-clockwise so I went back & did the route that way but I didn't fine the Hardknott any more difficult. There are just a couple of tight hairpin bends on a steep gradient 33% & it's difficult to see if any vehicles are coming down from the opposite direction. Once you ascend that section of the Hard knott I stopped & paused at the beginning of that steep section. Have a good look. Afterwards I thought it wasn't at all that bad? Let me know how you get on.
