Given my penchant for the prehistoric, my favourite bits were Castlerigg, Mayburgh Henge and King Arthurs Round Table.

The only downsides were drivers who couldn't seem to go above 25mph on completely clear 60mph zones, and still braked at ever corner and every oncoming vehicle. I hate to think how they'd cope in Cornwall or Wales - the Lakes roads are like motorways compared to them.


And [rant mode] frigging cyclists who think it perfectly acceptable to crawl up a hill at 8mph completely oblivious to the 15 mile queue of traffic behind them. And on most roads I had buses, tractors and cars pull over to let me pass with a friendly wave and a thumbs up, but not one single cyclist. Get yourselves a proper hobby which doesn't have a negative impact on every other road user.[/rantmode]
