Episode 093: The English Lake District – Eskdale & Wasdale
Update: 2025-10-18
Description
In this episode of the podcast, Andrew Sykes takes an autumnal short break in the English Lake District. Staying in a camping 'pod' at the National Trust campsite in Eskdale, Andrew sets off on two rides as described in Jack Thurston's Lost Lanes North. 'Still Glides The Stream' takes him on a figure-of-eight loop from Eskdale to Broughton-in-Furness and up the infamous Hard Knott Pass with its 30% incline. 'Mountain High' is a there-and-back roller-coaster of a cycle along Wasdale, to the coast at Seascale and south to Ravenglass before letting the miniature train take the strain on a chilly carriage ride back along Eskdale and the warmth of the pub in Boot.
