Local knowledge
West Cumbria is a long way from the bigger recovery bases, so a breakdown here can take longer to reach than one in Kendal or Penrith. We’ll give you an honest arrival time. If you’re near a town, wait there rather than on a remote stretch.
From Cockermouth, Whinlatter Pass climbs to Keswick and the lanes lead to Lorton and Buttermere. If the bike stops on the forest road, the visitor centre car park at the top is the easiest place to wait.
