Warm up over Birker Fell for the major ascent of Hardknott Pass. Ride over Wrynose pass into Ambleside for lunch, then take in Kirkstone Pass via The Struggle and descend into Patterdale. Turning left at the A66 takes you into Keswick, from where you can ride back to Ambleside and Coniston via Grasmere.by Mr Bunbury
