Usual route today. Estuary at Ravenglass (deja vous):

Yew Tree tarn, between Coniston and Ambleside:


But then altered the route from Ambleside to take in the Kirkstone Pass, stopped for coffee at the inn:



Down through Patterdale and Glenridding, mad blast along the A66 back to Keswick, then up the A591, and 595 back home. 140 miles-ish.
Getting to know these roads very well now - no nasty surprises on the gnarly mountain bits now for example, I know exactly what to expect. I do this route so often because it has a great mix of fast A road, the aforementioned mountain stuff, and everything in between. The Striple handles the mountain roads better in the sense that you can take more liberties, but it does get bounced around a bit more. Overall, I prefer the Fazer still
