Hardknott Pass

Done it got the Tee shirt [;)] so steep was parked up and lost my coolant had to top up with stream water[:D][:D] even the sheep had problem finding there grip [:D][:D]
 
Did the Pass in 1966 in my MG Midget and girlfriend (now wife) got out half way up in sheer terror. She has improved and done Nurburgring and Stelvio since then!!
 
Ha ha. I did it by accident a couple of summers ago - heading out for a walk with my Mrs and just put the destination in satnav without thinking.

Was in a 987S PDK that belonged to my friendly OPC. I swear it was on 3 wheels round one of the corners it was so steep (albeit at 1mph!). Was glad not to be in the Spyder.

At least my wife stayed in the car!
 
very busy now, you need to get up early and do it a 5am

I used to do it quite often as I had family up there.

last time I went to show my other half I could get no where near it in the day and bus's were even trying to get to it, so the roads around it were hell and I turned back.

I now do other roads which are more fun (less well known)on my visits to the lakes.

 
Remember it well. MGB GT 30+ years ago..... Went back a couple of years ago in Cayman. Would have been a lot of fun again but for the traffic as others have said.
