Great pics NC
Done the Honister some time ago. Due to do it again soon.
I bet we passed each other. I have been in Scotland last couple of days (maybe 2 pictures will follow)
Miles, did about 600 in 2 days, bum mumb.

Re: Lakeland
Really liked the pictures. That's a good days riding. I love days like that.
