CYCLE: Keswick, Whinlatter Pass and Crummock Water, Cumbria. From high mountain passes to serene lake shores, Christopher Ridout traces the physical and emotional journey of a couple dealing with the challenges of early-onset dementia

CYCLE INTO THE SUBLIME

William Wordsworth is the quintessential Lakeland poet. One of his key inspirations was that of the sublime in nature, instilling a sense of awe and wonder even to the point of terror. Supernova is a road movie set within this sweep of land so adored by Wordsworth.

The romantic drama details the impact of dementia on a relationship, sensitively portraying a sublime aspect of love when compared to the excitement often seen in stories of fledgling romance.

This challenging bike ride traces many of the filming locations, each with its own share of both tranquil beauty and awe-inspiring nature.

1 PASSING THROUGH

Leave Keswick on the B5289, following a short stretch on the A66 before taking the B5292 to the left. A steep climb after Braithwaite leads to England's only true mountain forest, Whinlatter, with its fantastic mountain bike trails. Keep your eyes peeled for red squirrels in the flanking spruce and fir forest. Drop from the pass via rough upland farmland to the verdant green patchwork fields of Lorton Vale.
