    impressed with the screen grab from PC, if you save the image from the goPro to phone via app its even clearer.

    Which way did you do it ?

    Fantastic roads, But struggle for scratching on those bends:eek:

    My favourite direction is running out from Ambleside towards the coast, and that view as you come out over the final crest.... Wow...

    If folk haven't done it, put it on your bucket list. It takes some doing on a blade mind. You'll need to come into the corners really wide and then stay wide all the way round. Stay away from the insides of the bends.

    Was running coast towards Ambleside.

    Got 1 hairpin wrong and stopped which was not good, but got going again

    On descent found another hairpin covered in diesel and sand which was not great.

    The video makes it look flat unfortunately but great views

    Haha, far from flat, some of the insides of the bends are close to vertical :)
