. . . The road from Penrith through the Hartside pass to Alston is the best driving road. . . .
Is that east from Penrith on the A686?
Yes. That's the one - leads from the roundabout outside Penrith all the way to Alston. The bit to the east of the Hartside Cafe is not so interesting. The cafe at the top is pretty good for bacon sandwiches and cakes though.
The road down the other side heading towards Hexham has a bigger than normal camber in the road and my 3.0 bottoms out a couple of times on the way down, its fine to climb up to Hartside though.
