Route advice - North of England

Hi, I wonder if nayone can help me. Following a successful C2C trip last
year, myself and some friends are looking for another similar route across
the north of England.
So far we are looking at something like:

First day - Grange over Sands to Penrith via Ambleside, Kirkstone pass and
Glenridding.
Second day - Penrith to Richmond, via Kirkby Stephen, Tan Hill Inn and
Arkengarthdale.
Third day - Richmond probably to Redcar (We all live on Teesside so we are
ok on this stretch).

Has anyone any advice on the details of such a route? Especially the climbs
up the Kirkstone pass and to the Tan Hill Inn?

Cheers

The b road from Ambleside to the top of the Kirkstone is known as "the
struggle".............. Don't let it put you off though, a good one to do.

And at the botom is the Golden Rule. Possibly my favourite pub.

Hehe. One to do downhill after indulging yourself in the Kirkstone inn.
Don't forget the brakes:-)

Right, so is the the pub at the top we stop in or the pub at the bottom?

A long shot I suppose but.....

I also live in the Teesside area and knew a Paul Young (Youngy) in my teens.
Did you ever live in Middlesbrough?

p.s. I'm hoping to do the C2C route this year. Have you added a trip report
to a website at all?
