Starting from - There is no parking at the station, however there is plenty one the road that is alongside it. What three words location is shrug.amicably.boggles. It can get busy, both with visitors to the station, Silver Meadows and those accessing the lake, so please park with consideration. CA13 9YL

At time of typing, I have a provisional route designed on Strava - just shy of 10 miles it will take us up to the Castle Inn before we turn back on ourselves and complete a circular route back to Bass Lake Station.
Once I've had a chance to recce it, it might be tweaked slightly. Check the comments on this page for route updates.

Next in our Ladies That Lunch series is a circular ride to a very special place - Bassenthwaite Lake Station, where we will be able to eat lunch on a train, but not just any train! Its the Orient Express from the movie, Murder on the Orient Express.

Mostly quiet back roads, although we will have to cross a busy main road at the beginning of the ride. In true Breeze style, this will be done with safety in mind.

No stops during the ride, other than to pause, take in the view and take some photos.

Remember that helmet! Keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly. And remember that no cyclists wardrobe is ever complete without this season's must have accessory - a spare inner tube!

First-timers welcome!
