The UKs most dangerous road: Hardknott Pass, Lake District

[@johnhagen31]

Best video ever! I love "oh shit corner" and have driven it both ways for the last 25-odd years. You capture the essence of the road so well!

[@SaffySprocket]

What a name 😂

[@philipmear8680]

This is an important local east-west route in the Lake District. Although it is only suitable for a limited range of vehicles, its poor state of maintenance is scandalous. The alternative routes east-west routes are far longer and very inconvenient for local residents. Soon it will only be passable by fully tracked vehicles. All these videos are enjoyable to watch. The notoriety of this road as a ‘challenge’ is creating a problem. If this road was fully repaired and maintained by the council it would reduce the attraction of the route to thrill seekers. I love this route, but it has become too risky for me to use.

[@haplmotorsports3086]

I thought I was the only one who self soothed and gave myself pep talks that I was going to be alright...It is lovely to know I am not the only one...my grandmother used to say that if you can walk yourself through a scary time, that you know you can depend and trust yourself. Never knew how important that would later become in my life. Beautiful location....

Very well done Saffy. I’ve done it three times and each time someone in the group “ dropped / placed “ their bike on the road. It’s not an easy road for sure but you did great, especially in winter. Well done again 👏👏.

[@SaffySprocket]

I proper nearly cried 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AKADADEVILIMSELF]

First time I went here it was foggy and literally zero visibility. I almost got over taken by a cyclist 🤣🤣🤣. Did it again a few days later the views where amazing. 3rd time I did all the passes in one day. Its one of the most demanding roads I've been on and it's very addictive.

[@SaffySprocket]

I was very adrenalined up, I won't lie

[@renwithnell8188]

I've been riding motorcycles for over 30 years. I've been a despatch rider and a motorcycle instructor. I've well over half a million miles on 2 wheels. I rode the Hardknott on a CBF125 in summer on a dry day. Still pooped my pants, it's a helluva road! Kudos to you.

[@SaffySprocket]

It will make the strongest warrior cry like a little girl 🤣🤣🤣

[@gazoutdoors7525]

I half dropped my bike on Hardknott, gave way to some cars and the front wheel slipped on some gravel right on that steep bend where you was coming down the hill at the end, I damaged my pannier on that big chunky rock/wall but managed to not fully drop it. My own fault, I didn't get on the back brake quick enough and I didn't spot the loose gravel under my front tyre. Winter is probably a good idea, in summer it is full of cars and campers!! 😂

[@SaffySprocket]

Oh nooooooo, I was dreading thinking a car might come down when I was going up, I had absolutely no idea how I would have managed if it had

[@johncopetti1253]

Conquered your fears Saffy, I felt for you, well done. The more you do this the more relaxed you get on the bike and the easier it gets, but definately a good idea to do these difficult roads in the dry, warmer months. Steep and tight is one thing, ice on the road is another, and if you do go riding with others, don t ever let them push you beyond your limits. Cheers and enjoy.

[@SaffySprocket]

Thank you so much 💓 this road really terrified me ahahaha

[@georgelowles5077]

In the late 60s I rode the Hardnott pass in a snow storm on a BSA c15 ss80 on my way to a party. Got there and it had been called off. Kipped on the floor and left at first light to travel home. Mind you the host made an amazing breakfast. They gave me a stack of sandwiches and a flask of tea for the ride home.

[@lold6130]

I admire your spirit Saffy. Don't forget, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[@Ibis117]

Relived every minute of that. I must admit when you said "the worst is over", I thought, she's not tried the downhill bit, yet. Much more fun, two-up, on a Wing, at night, in the rain. Not one of my best decisions ever. Thank you for conveying the joy of motorcycling so clearly.

[@snakeman9902]

I can relate, went 2 up on a big old blackbird, I remember sheep in one of the fields, pulled over at the top and it is much easier going down, unfortunately, went in tourist season and the road was quite a tad busier.. Made it more scarier with cars bombing past on the tight bends.

[@junglie]

I would have took one look at that black ice in the carpark & went back to bed till it thawed.....

[@SaffySprocket]

Ahahahhaha adds to the fun

[@mattyp1460]

I Rode this on Billy (my 24 year old bandit) last year. Loved it. Took it steady and enjoyed the view. Didn't have to defrost my bike first though! Did around 450 miles that day. Great channell Saffy!

[@SaffySprocket]

That's some distance! Kudos!

[@philipmear8680]

This road was 100% safe when it was properly maintained. At the current rate of decay it will soon revert to being a track only suitable for off road vehicles. Shame on Cumbria council!

[@richardlee2488]

It's not the only road that's falling into major disrepair in the lakes. Huge number of roads here are being worked on but they are just not keeping up. Maybe lack of manpower or funds. But really inconvenient for locals as much of the work is done with full road closures overnight and sometimes taking weeks to complete. They talk at the moment of the over tourism in the canaries but having just returned from Tenerife it is pale by comparison to that in the national park. Perhaps an entry fee could reduce the numbers and fund the road repairs.

[@bikewanderer8132]

The difference in exhausted and hyper sleep charged Saffy reminds me of the durracell bunny adverts. Looks like you had a blast. You need to trust your skills and bike more.

[@SaffySprocket]

Ahahhahaha litterally 🤣 a tired saffy is a proper grumpy Saffy

[@dob1662]

Hi Saffy, I'm slowly working through your back list of videos, this one highlights who you are, riding until you drop, pushing yourself far beyond your own comfort zone, you are reminding me of my own love for riding somewhere for the first time, for the hell of it😋 hoping our paths cross one day 🥰❤❤

[@mojothejester9889]

Been on that road a couple of times on my bike, once from the west to east, then second time was east to west. Also been up and down that road multiple times in my car at 1am to 4am, on stargazing trips. Nice and empty at night, but the corners and drops come up super quick in pitch black 😂

[@travellingmalin4029]

Why is it every time I watch your videos my hearts in my mouth. 🥶🥶

[@JW-ym5yb]

Ok, you tried to trim your hair with a drone, knocked your bike over in frustration because you couldn't be the first use a drone as a trimmer, and then found yourself completely worn out and slept for 14 hours. Then, yes then, you decided to tackle a difficult road in freezing temps because, well, you're Saffy Sprocket! Way to go! You are an inspiration to this old man. Why? because I'm still doing the things you do when my "competitive side", read stubborn, takes over. You are amazing!

[@glen3468]

14hrs your body mustve needed it Saffy,well done on the pass,another bucket list ticked for you

[@SaffySprocket]

I could litterally sleep for 2 days straight if the world let me 😭🤣🤣🤣

[@Englishbikerdan]

Fair play for riding in those conditions! I would have waited a good few hours for the roads to thaw, but I'm old!

[@SaffySprocket]

Old is just a mindset ;D

[@on-the-road9821]

We drove the Hardknott Pass on a rainy day in Sommer 2023. However, it was absolutely no major problem. So we think the many stories about it's danger are more a myth than reality. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYLUhZmGrMmGa7c

[@neilbarnwell]

Seems like you did really well to me. I've only done it in good weather I think. I've done other passes up there in cloud/fog and rain and it is super sketchy, so fair play for taking your time and getting through it. If I had any advice, it would be to keep the revs up. Bikes prefer higher revs than cars, as a rule (motorway cruising notwithinstanding) so keep the gear low, the revs up, slip the clutch when you need to, and it does get easier. A lot of low-speed dropsies are from stalls, in my experience.

[@AdventureGlide]

Wow, this road looks fantastic.

[@SaffySprocket]

It's really worth a visit :)

[@serenitypillows61]

Well done you. I was exploring last year on my 125 ended up on this road didn't know where I was going and was afraid of running the tank dry. When I reached the end and back to the real world I had an unforgettable ride in my life. I didn't know what the road was untill this video. You dear are a nutter doing this knowing what you was getting your self into , not to mention in winter. My hat is off , well done

[@centurybugs]

I love 14 hour naps, definitely not a road to go on if you’re still tired, I’ve only been on it once doing a coast to coast from Scarborough to Seascale a few years ago, definitely got to do that again this year

[@SaffySprocket]

Mega naps are the best kinda naps 🤣🤣🤣 and yes, the road will really tire you out. It's a great lesson in spot fixation

[@CNDUK-q8r]

The notoriety was largely achieved before the "modern era", back when car clutches used to burn out and some cars didn't have the pep to reach the top, loaded down with families and luggage. I remember my father turning around in his Austin A35 half-way up when he caught sight of the steep part. His next car, a VW 1300 Beetle sailed up it with no problems.

[@primalengland]

I put a video on my channel last year driving over to Hardknot Roman Fort. It’s a lot steeper than it looks, isn’t it. That sharp left and right hand bend on the way down. If you look straight ahead you can see the fort on your video. You should have stopped. It is awesome. Great video.

[@SaffySprocket]

Honestly, the camera doesn't do it justice!

[@primalengland]

@@SaffySprocket I raced bikes, solo and sidecar in the 70s. You become inured to speed, but coming down off Hardknot Pass with all the drop offs and pot holes really tested me and my cute little Fiat 500!

[@gizmo1863]

Congrats and a fab video. The giggles and excitement are just soo infectious, don't change. Drove it 1987 in an underpowered 1.3 Escort. What an experience but the roads were in better nick then. Keep on rockin' Saffy.

[@mikep.9371]

Dodging drones just might become a new sport ... unless bike is needed for back stop. I just loved your short "cat nap" too. Glad you had a good weekend out and about Saffy.

[@SaffySprocket]

🤣🤣🤣 the nap that never ended

[@spudracula]

Been up and down those passes for years, first on my 125 and every bike since. Target fixation is a major problem I've seen following other bikers along there, they can't stop looking at where they don't want to go and end up going exactly where they don't want to (especially going down the hairpins). Helped one poor lad turn is bike around once as he thought it was impossible. Well done for doing it on your own and staying rubber side down.

[@ToxicChillz]

My first time on the hard knot pass was my first solo camping trip on my CBR650R at the time, fully loaded with panniers/topbox and all my camping gear , did 178 miles to caldbeck with no motorway, via the coast roads of the lakes, however on the way through it took me through the Wyrenose and then the hard knot pass b2b. Its one hell of a rode and definitely one for the crazy list. I was absolutely terrified when I was coming down and going up I was definitely getting more and more nervous the higher I got. Definitely needed a break after those passes

[@SaffySprocket]

This road proper broke me 🤣 I was so close to crying 😢

[@stevewesley3841]

I went over the side of Hardknott pass on my bmw and broke several ribs and an AVG helmet. My bmw was not financially viable to rescue, so I gave it to a local motorcycle shop so that they would rescue it for themselves and I wouldn't have to pay the police to do it...I can't believe you did that in those conditions, all i can say is well done!

[@stevewesley3841]

It was about half a mile before you stopped.

[@paulkiley4667]

Saffy, your videos are an inspiration to all us bikers out there. Not just the female riders but everyone! I came across your channel by accident and subscribed immediately. Please keep doing what you're doing and most of all enjoying the experience. I have a trip to North Wales planned in June, I'll be taking in Snowdonia mostly but I'd say nowhere will be off limits, except the off road tracks. At 54 years old this will be my first ever "tour" but I doubt it will be the last! Current owner of a 2021 Yamaha Tracer 900 and a 1990 Honda CBR600FL Benetton (that's the rare one with pink wheels, look it up) I'll try and film and edit the Wales trip, hopefully I'll get some good footage. Cheers 👍

I have been twice and my favourite pass being rhynos pass. When I did hardnot pass last time I was 2s up on a zzr 1400 with wet roads. Definitely a road to enjoy in the dry tho! The lake district has to be my favourite place to take the bike no questions asked

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

it's only dangerous because the council up there are useless, I slid out on asphalt around a left bend, cars were sliding on this stuff going up the hill, the attending officer said to me, that less than 24 hours earlier, another motorcyclist went off in the exact same place as me, council hadn't cleaned it up, copper gave me all the details, the council then paid all damages to the bike, clothing and myself for time off work. Nice vid Saffy

[@spikeccx]

i live there , the problem with hardknot is too much use , and road can get loads of run off so gets gravel ect between rain showers also there is worst roads in the area but not known by tourists

[@stewartellinson8846]

@@spikeccx this is the problem - people don't get that the runoff goes down the road surgafe and takes a lot of gravel with it. I think that's why it's so corrugated and there are a coupe of potholes too. It's a very minor road so it's not reasonable to expect the council to be there after every bit of rain. people need to take care.

[@DaveBartlett]

"Hardknott Pass is very difficult: hence the name!" - It may surprise you that it was named Hardknott long before any car or motorcycle attempted to cross it. It's named Hardknott Pass because it crosses Hardknott Fell, and that fell's name derives from the Old Norse "Harthr Knutr" which means 'Hard and craggy hill!" which refers to the geology of the area, and has nothing whatsoever to do with how difficult it is to ride over! (The neighbouring pass to Hardknott on the other side of the Duddon Valley is called "Wrynose Pass", and despite what anyone might tell you, you won't come across any Rhinoceroses whilst crossing it! 😉)
