Message: <blockquote data-quote="lindisfel" data-source="post: 2362164" data-attributes="member: 57698">Hi all,Another wet grass day in Cumbria with temperature down on the edge of the Solway plain at 4 deg C and not much more for the next two days until it turns colder.So I see all the snow is now falling in the high Pennines.When I think of the Pennines I think of the Alston to Penrith road that goes up to nearly 2000 feet. The bends would be fantastic on a motorbike as you come down towards Penrith.In the old long wheel based BBC land rover and having to double declutch all the time,  it sorted the men from the boys going up and down.Shame some moron torched the cafe at the top with one the best views in the UK.I always had an additional hazard going over the top because I would be looking out for Merlins and Red Grouse.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />D.</blockquote>
