Hello
I plan / hope to do LEJOG this year and have been spending a bit of time reading other people's routes and looking at maps. Whilst I enjoy looking at maps I have got to that point where the roads are just coloured lines and I have no idea what they are like to ride on in reality.
I have sorted quite a bit of my intended route from others' accounts, but there are still a few areas where I could do with advice and/or local knowledge. To avoid this getting complicated, I will try to ask about one area at a time. Oh, and I am not attempting to do it in seven days or anything heroic like that - more of a compromise between great scenery and a straight line.
The first area I would like to ask about is after the YH at Slaidburn. My choices are either to go to Kendal and through the Lake District, or go through Ingleton and then the Eden Valley - just to complicate things a bit, if I was to go via the Eden Valley I could go through the Ribble valley and Settle first.
Apologies for the rambling post, but I would really appreciate any help or advice .
Thanks
Rick
