North to A66 between the Mell Fells and up to Berrier for Mungrisdale...fell road to Hesket N and along to Caldbeck for a choice of (late) lunch options...back to HN and finally the return Greystoke via How Hill and Johnby. Light rain forecast - perhaps a refreshing change! Hope to see a few of you!  43 miles Gill Please message if coming: 07437 217187

Sorry to disappoint but I have decided to slightly moderate the ride as posted. Still starting behind Keswick Swimming Pool at 0930 but then doing the three passes Honister, Newlands and Whinlatter plus a bit! Totals 80km and 1900m ascent - hope to see some of you out the weather is dry and likely to be sunny later on. Stops likely to be Buttermere cafe and shop in Braithwaite. There will be time for the Gosforth round before the days draw in if after Wednesday there are any takers - let me know! Geoff  message if coming? 07711842885
