Christmas 2024

Christmas 2024, spent at Borrowdale Hostel with Graham Nevett.

On Christmas Day we rode to Newlands valley and over the pass (333 m, 1093 ft) to Buttermere. Then down Lorton Vale, over Whinlatter Pass (318 m, 1043 ft) and back through Newlands to Borrowdale.

On Boxing Day drove to Keswick and cycled a circuit of Skiddaw, stopping at the Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket.
