[SirToU]

Hi All,

I've got to go to South Cumbria on Thurdays/Friday can anyone give me some useful information about this neck of the woods?

(more information to follow later, when I know).

First of all its a horrible area, you don't want to be going anywhere near it, yes that's right, all Southerners stay down south, move along now, nothing to see up there but sheep.


However the M6, now your talking, miles & miles of stunning tarmac......

He's right, i hated every minute last year when i was with 100milesaway and Olde Coney riding around the Dales, terrible it was. 

Mind you the M6 was awesome on the way home.

I used live up in West Cumbria and loved the views down the West Coast, although my work up there usually took as far south as Millom.

On our (car) trip to Cumbria a couple of weekends ago I even had a blast across Corney Fell.

I don't think anyone can ever tire of the Cumbrian Scenery .

Well, I'm going for a tea/coffee to hear about old'e' english bikes....Thanks Roger but  I think it will be too dark to see the scenery.  :-(

But if all goes well, I might end up spending a couple of years - walking, cycling, getting wet and motorcycling in whats said to be some of the most beautiful countryside in the country.

fingers crossed.

I've just been advised by naval friend on the south coast to avoid the sub mariners!  hmmmmm.  its just a big sinking ships!  its not that scarey!

Is that why he made the Alps?

He made the Alps as a booby prize for those not fortunate enough to have The Lake District right on their doorstep, poor souls.

You obviously haven't been over the Alps yet! 
Even Scotland or North Cumbria beat the lakes hands down. 
Crappy roads and far too many tourists  - so even though it is probably closer to my doorstep than yours I stay well clear of it.
