Well - LOVING my TomTom Rider - one of the features is that you can download routes that people have shared - so I gave the Lakeland Passes a go today. It should come with a warning to only do this on off road bikes lol.
There were a few areas where the inclines and declines made me feel like I was pulling a wheelie / Stoppie and to be honest on one downhill section the road dropped so quickly that it was hairpinning back on itself every 50 feet or so and was about as steep as riding your bike down of the back of a pick up - seriousley scared me it reminded me of the alps rather than the UK

Anyway - like I said loving the TomTom, and loving the Easter long weekend weather.

Heres some pics (apologies - only had my phone camera)

(oops gimmie 5 mins to fix pics )

Piccies look good mate and the Tom Tom feature where you can share routes with people is great , just the type of thing I could do with

Thanks for taking the time to share Harry. Great to see the counryside, sensational views. As you say though, dont think those roads are designed for the CBR1000F!
