The Lakeland 300 is now in place for people to ride as an ITT or at a social pace. Route has been put together by Chris Hope, he is based in Cockermouth but a Staveley start is possible , I,m going to have a crack at it tomorrow morning at 6am will no doubt report back with pics  and a little review.

Should be a nice day out if the weather plays ball.

Good luck Rich. Looks a decent route that. Don't know the bit between Wasdale and Cockermouth.
