Best roads in Yorkshire Dales/Lake District or inbetween?
Discussion
As per the title. Can anyone recommend some fun round trips and/or routes in the Yorkshire Dales/Lake District. I've been told the Hardknott Pass is not one to miss but that's about it. Camp site suggestions welcome too as I intend to make a mini holiday of it (motorcycling)
Any links to .gpx routes would be great then I can just download it straight to the nav.
Thanks

Just back from a road trip in the Pennines / Dales / Scottish Borders... and IMHO:
- Lake District = Best views, especially Kirkstone Pass... but be ready for traffic and tourists ridiculously parked by the single track roads...
- Pennines = absolutely epic from a driving viewpoint... great roads and very little traffic. A few favorites: B6277 Grassington; B6276 Brough; B6278 Stanhope
- Scottish Borders = if time allows, a trip up to Moffat A708 and the Dalveen and Mennock passes is worth it!
And if you fancy a break - try the quad trek with these guys in the Lake District - did it in June, and the views from the top are priceless!

Last time I rode a quad was in Thailand and I struggled immensely. Took me ages to unlearn countersteering, it was like having the gas pedal on the left and the brake on the right in a car. - Lake District = Best views, especially Kirkstone Pass... but be ready for traffic and tourists ridiculously parked by the single track roads...
