Did some more tet this evening.
Photos from old coach Road across matterdale common, starts off gentle gravel track, then the gravel gets larger. Few short climbs through washed out galleys that are at the limit of what an overweight "dual sport" bike with moderate Street kmobblies can deal with (bottomed out various bits of frame many times). Then right at the end the descent isn't that steep, but long and very large chunks of rock, slip and slide for sure! Kept it shiny side up by only just.
Some of the smaller roads that the Tet guides you through are just fantastic though, it's a very well thought out route from what I've done so far (like 50 miles lol) and a bike like this is about right for it (occasional faster roads)
Also speeding camera wagons, they get bike? My speedo is shit, showed 65/70 but pretty confident it was more than that, 70 dual carriageway but knowing my luck...
