A Lake District Grand Tour, by Mike Carden

A Lake District Grand Tour by Mike Carden

In ‘A Lake District Grand Tour’, Mike Carden visits all the lakes of Lakeland, pokes into its most distant corners, and cycles over every mountain pass (well, he attempts to). With his twenty-year-old son alongside him on the ride (actually more often ahead of him, disappearing up a hill) and sharing his sense of humour, Mike’s story of The Challenge, The History, The Wildlife and The Scones is proving popular. The Cumbria Magazine: ‘A sense of humour in abundance.’
