A Lake District Grand Tour

As soon as we read ‘scones’, we knew that this would be our kind of adventure. We weren’t wrong.

"I had a plan".

Those famous last words tend to precede the most painful of challenges; fortunately Mike Carden has the determination, will-power, and sense of humour required to see such painful challenge through, and boy does it make for great reading!

Through his witty and captivating narrative, we discover the history, wildlife, people, and stories of the region as Mike and his twenty-year-old son saddle up for a nine-day tour of every lake in the Lakes, every major town, and every fearsome mountain pass.

It’s one hell of a way to see a National Park!
