St Bees to the other side?

Same St Bees, but we didn't do the Coast-to-Coast.

Huddersfield to St Bees via the Trough of Bowland, then back to Huddersfield via the Honister Pass, down the A6 to Kendal then across to Aysgarth & back via Kettelewell.

I'm always wary of parking up at hotels, having had my CX500 stolen from outside one in St Etienne in 1983. 42 years later, still check the bike is where I left it first thing next morning - some experiences leave a deep inpression ! Not a lot more you can do other than park in as visble a location as possible, lock it up, put on a cover & hope for the best.

Nice roads in those parts - hope you go back & try again at some point.
