I remember working for Andy when I was at school and he was operating out of a lock-up the other side of the mini-golf. Then the move to Millans Park – burgled the night before opening-day I seem to recall. Worked there for a few years but left before the move to the new shop.
Great place, lots of good high-end stuff, good range of clothing too.
For a ride from Ambleside, I’d recommend going over Loughrigg, climb above Skelwith Bridge, High Arnside, Iron Keld, trails round Hodge Close and Tilberthwaite, Elterwater, finish down Loughrigg terrace back down to Ambleside. It’s a good all-weather route and loads of fun.
