Something to go back and try Tejvan! Thank you for these Hill Climb posts, Tejvan. I was in Windermere for a family do last weekend and planned my ride using your posts. I had a beautiful day out on Saturday; sunshine, not much wind. Thanks for that. A common thread tied by the roads we share. I like that. Mislet Brow. However, the surface is particularly draggy, even by Lake District standards. I would also say that the toughest section of Kirkstone Pass from the south is earlier in the climb, after the Queens Head Hotel.
At least in my experience, I find the whole thing easier once the landscape opens up. The Struggle section of your post. Impressive stuff, you must be in fine form! Brakes not really up to the job on the other side. It was like a wall at the start, then steady, cursed the downhill bit, go down you only have to go up again, then a few steep hairpins with the top in sight.
Took me 90 mins, but loved every one of them, an amazing ride for a 60 year old bloke who just enjoys the great outdoors. At the top of Kirkstone Pass. Lake Windermere is to the right. I like this route and it offers great views across the top of Lake Windermere. Leave this field empty. We use cookies on our website to collect relevant data to enhance your visit.

Best of Britain. Kirkstone Pass. If you fancy a good view, take my advice and turn your steering wheel south from Ullswater on the A Head through the hamlet of Patterdale and begin the long climb up to the summit of Kirkstone Pass, at feet the highest pass in the Lake District.
