Thinking of taking mine and my son's bikes all the way up to the Lake District in August but I'm wondering if it's a good idea too because my son (11) still isn't fully road aware. Are there lots of spots where he can still cycle and be relatively safe? Possibly off road routes? I'm currently researching the area more as i prepare for our trip so all the help would be greatly appreciated. Don't want to lug them up there if it's not a good idea etc.

Thanks :)

Don't follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Have a look at the SUSTRANS website for off road and safe / quiet cycle routes. Not biked in the lakes for many years!

Lots of quiet lanes where you are staying. We had good day's cycling around there and to Ravenglass and back to our campsite in Boot. But only you know the ability of you son.
