Whoop Hall to Windermere (A65 --> A590 --> A5074) [23 miles]
Windermere to Kirstone Pass Inn (A592) [7 miles]
Kirkstone Pass to Keswick (A592 --> A5091 --> A66) [23 miles]
Keswick to Ambleside (A591) [17 miles]
Ambleside to Windermere car ferry via Hawkshead (B5286 --> B5285) [11 miles]
Windermere to Whoop Hall (A5074 --> A590 --> A65) [23miles]
Total of 104 miles, which would probably be between 2 to 3 hours driving depending on how busy the roads were.
Mitch/Stan/Redline - You Cumbrian boys got any recommendations for a decent place to stop off for lunch?
I know there's a few places as you go through Patterdale and Glenridding and there's also a decent looking pub as you pass through Dockray - any suggestions?
Here's Pag suggested Route on the Map: - Map So far with Stops, Pag to update I think this weekend!! Your meeting at the Whoop on Saturday 14th, but what night/nights are you all staying? Friday night before? or the saturday night? As someone suggested you may all be meeting up agian on the Sunday? I'll definatly make an appearance at the whoop and glad to give directions if anyone gets lost? also will chip in with any suggestions on the routes. I would say you need to allow plenty of time through the lakes as it can get busy traffic wise? Lived in/around Kendal for 32 years, but have to admit as I live in the lakes dont explore it as much as I should (fell walking? whats that? ), but i'll do what I can to point you in the right direction, Mitch has mentioned the A6 through Shap which is a good road, leads up to the sportsman but this runs parrallel to the kirkstone pass (cant fit both in), you will get a scenic view of the lakes on Pags route

I have to say, the ferry can be a very long wait at times, as its a tourist thing rather than a useful service. I think the chance of just turning up and hopping on are extremely slim. I personally would choose shap road (route in blue). http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f309/mitch20vt/Untitled-1.jpg Only because the driving will be far better, not as many caravans and a much faster road. But yes the downside is we will see less lakes, any thoughts?
