I'll probably head over there tomorrow or Monday and stay overnight, found this route via a cycling website and it includes some of the big passes. Should I do this or modify it and do something similar/different?

Cheers fella, might check out that rail journey. Sounds good, going to get up early(ish) tomorrow, head over and do that rail journey before setting up camp somewhere, I'll do a random drive around the lakes later that day and then on Tuesday morning do the route I have set before heading home.
Some pics from my little sojourn
Just getting there

Setting up camp

Hardknott from the bottom

Hardknott looking back from 3/4 of the way up

Hardknott to Wynrose from the top

On the way back to camp from the two passes above

Next day Kirkstone pass (I hit this with very few other cars around and it was unreal fun, I had to keep going back up and down it)

Buttermere to Keswick route (I forget the name of the pass but it was around that area)

Going back home again

I did Hardknott, Wynrose, Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands and Whinlatter passes, only managed a few photo's from the drive but most of the time I was too busy driving. I also didn't do the route above but did follow it on large parts of my drive. I reckon doing the full route would be great fun.
