Roy,

Great route if a bit of a wriggle at Kirby Stephen & Tebay, I have used it many times and it doe's cut the time.

HGV's are banned from that route. It's very tight at Kirkby Stephen, with parked cars down one side of the road for about 400 metres- meet John coming the other way, and you will have fun. There's also a very long and steep hill to the north of there- you need a powerful unit to get up it!

Roy, no problems at all with this route, I always use it to tow down to the South Lakes. Richard
