This years Epic Summer trip

Two things - first I don't think it's finished yet.

that's been going on a long time now.

I remember years ago watching a program about it and the chap who was developing it dying in a Helicopter crash, very sad.

Two things - first I don't think it's finished yet. Second, don't even think of taking the motorhome up there (and I'm not just saying that because I'm a wuss). There's a fabulous little bus route that goes round there via Whinlatter and Buttermere, the 77 or 77a depending on whether you go clockwise or anticlockwise . But they only use a little bus and they only do it in summer. So if they don't do it in anything big or in bad weather, I respect their judgement.

Edited to add - I'm planning to do it next July, for a milestone birthday!

I know the lakes like the back of my hand but legally you can't take a motorhome up there anyway as it's a 6ft 6" restriction but I have seen them go up there. There is a cracking wild spot at the bottom. I would go up on the bike

I remember meeting someone who told me about that.

But it looks like it's on schedule now - I saw bits of it earlier this year (from the 77a bus).
