Heading that way tomorrow, heading from the Keswick side.  Google maps, and the council website, suggest the B5292 is closed for repair just after Braithwaite, but neither are completely clear.  Can anyone confirm?  Takes a good 30 mins extra to drive round, so I’ll avoid if at all possible.

Clever, predictable, comments about avoiding trail centres most welcome 😜.

Yep, supposed to be closed for up to 12 weeks for bridge repairs. Access via Lorton side. The road itself is supposed to be closed to cyclists and peds too, but you should be able to go up the village and cross the wee footbridge if you wanted to ride up, or ride via Thornthwaite/Seldom seen.

Yup, ride up or drive round to Lorton. Sadly, it’s a 12 week closure!
