THE CHALLANGING HARDKNOTT PASS | IS IT HARD?

The 'Hardknott Pass' in the Lake District, Cumbria, England tops any other motorcycle ride in England I have done to date. This time I'm riding it anti-clockwise. I find it just as exhilarating & affirming my desire to keep coming back to this beautiful landscape to tour.
The 'Hardknott' Pass is 393m or 1,289ft, the narrow ex-military road built by the Romans is very steep at a gradient of 33% (1 in 3).
It's a bucket list ride which depending on your own experience will make it rideable or very challenging!

For quality bike locks:
I bought the ‘Litelok One Moto’ made of a Boaflexicore strap & hardened steel alloy lock body. Weighing only 1.46kg! It’s both light, flexible & easily stowed away in your luggage as opposed to a heavy chain lock.

Love seeing you and ken enjoying yourselves. Great countryside and views

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Ken is a seasoned Welsh off roader! I think he just ambled across the Hardknott, after we had gone over the pass he said is that it 🤣

[@allyb3477]

Great content, autumnal colours I think make the trip even better.

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Definitely Al, some beautiful canvasses in that landscape. Made it more enjoyable, if its dry, I'll be out on the road 😁

Done it loads in a car many years ago, easy.

Lovely historic lane for all of us to use thanks to the Romans. Its a wee bit more challenging on a quater of a ton 2 wheeler & of course each person's experience/skill set.
