Thats my local, 25 mins from back door gets you to foot of newlands pass (next one down the valley), over newlands, then turn right up borrowdale to the head of the valley then you have some (feels like) half a mile of 1:4 rucked up tarmac under trees with a refreshing waterfall up the side of it. Spits you out on top fairly quickly from that side then long fast descent into top of the valley you started in. About 2.5 hours round trip door to door and I don't know how much climbing but its enough.
