“The Struggle” descent from Kirkstone pass to Ambleside, The English Lake District.

Turn down the sound! I strapped my old iphone 3GS to the front of the bike with tape, made for a much cheaper version of many of the action cams I was looking at buying!

We’d picked the right day to go to the Lakes. swift 30ish miles and climbed Kirkstone Pass, something I’d been meaning to do for ages. OK we took the easy route of the three (I really wanted to descent to Patterdale and climb back that same way, to then take “The Struggle” to Ambleside but time was against us in that we had no idea how long the first ascent would take. So, this time we played it safe and got to travel a little further beyond Ambleside beyond Great Langdale and enjoyed a Latte at Sticklebarn Tavern before heading back alongside the river Brathay and Lake Windermere back to the van.
