Jacques le Roux is on a distinguished road
Not sure, we did Hardknot from East to West (towards the coast). Also had a cracking ride over the Kirkstone Pass on a locals recommendation. Some of the finest corners I have ever been on. The Tenere so nice when it comes on the power band especially up steep hills. Gave the bigger BMW (800 Twin) something to think about. There is also a smashing bit of road between Keswick going south to Grasmere where the road splits to two separate lanes and going through covered lanes. Road surface brand new and banked. Sheer pleasure to ride on the quick cornering XT.
