    Challenging Lake District climb with spectacular views and a pub at the top - what more could you want?!

      September 4, 2025

      All I can say is, it's spectacular and challenging by car, bike, or motorcycle! Just be careful, the road is narrow, and unfortunately, there are always some crazy people who think they're the only ones on the road! Don't stress, bring plenty of water, and enjoy the outdoors! But it's not called "STRUGGLE" for nothing!
