Had a fairly long route planned today, but felt I needed to allow time for the passes to defrost a bit. Then, by the time I'd given the chain a clean and lube, didn't get away till gone mid-day.
First stop was for coffee in Keswick, then blatted along the A66 to go down by Ullswater, but road closed before Pooley Bridge, so had to turn around, head back a ways, and head in on a different road. Ullswater shots:

A quick run to the top of the Kirkstone Pass:

I was going to go down to Ambleside, then Coniston, and across Birker Fell to Wastwater, but it was 4pm by the time I got to Kirkstone, so had to admit defeat and turn back. Oh well, these longer runs will have to wait until the weather warms up a bit.
