Great to meet everyone and to enjoy the glorious British weather! :dry: The Spada worked well but the boots got a tad wet, not so bad considering that we went through about 8 fjords! What brilliant fun :)

The sweeping bends that turn to hairpins with a small river flowing down the middle for that extra bit of 'twitchy' arse syndrome.

After some fun on the passes of Cumbria it was a stop off for some scampi and chips at the Wolfpack.

Big Dave had to pull off after that and the rest of us headed over Corny Fell and back to the A595 towards the M6.

Many thanks for the company, the ride and of course the free drugs B) It's working a treat on the foot! :blink:

Lancaste Mick - I'll catch you on the next one buddy or are you going to the Ace on Sunday?

Some pictures of the North West Adventure Riders out doing their thing B)

No such thing as bad weather, just bad kit ;)

Nice to meet James, Dave, Mark & Paul, pictured here somewhere on Hardknott, I think!

I didn't realize famous Hollywood actors were along for the ride, is that Daniel Day Lewis waving in the background? :lol:
I think that's too subtle for some... my left foot indeed! :whistle:
