Any Insurance Company doing that is just a cop out, nothing difficult about Hardknott Pass having been over it many many times in my car and bike.

Definitely a cop out as Hardknott Pass is a pukka road as it's maintained by Cumbria Highways. Any road not covered is classed as a by-way. I'd challenge that.
No probs mate.Sorry mate another catastrophic diary failure - just received a non to subtle reminder that we are already committed to an event on the 12th so unfortunately I will have to drop out having only just dropped in
I was up there a couple of weeks back and they shut the bridge at ulpha so I had to use the hard knocks
I love that part of the lakes not has many tourist and camper vans
Corney Fell? The bridge has been goosed for some time so access only from either end but you can't do the full Fell.
Strange that my insurance company should ‘recommend’ going there ?

It may have been the camper vans insurance that was not covered but in the end I need up paying for the repairs
I got my sister in laws she was a solicitor to look into it and she said there was not a lot I could do about it

Bump. One place now up for grabs.
Interesting as Hardknott Pass is a maintained road
If I can remember correctly it had something to do with a sign that said the road was only suitable for light vehicle and the camper van was not classed as a light vehicle by the insurance companyInteresting as Hardknott Pass is a maintained road
The one that the kid jump off
It was open when I left my digs in the morning then when I returned it was shut for 2 days
I was staying in ulpha then they shut the other road off at the same time
I was not in my Z3 I was in the Range Rover which was tight squeeze down them lanes
Surely that's what fully comp is for
Been over Hardknott Pass loads of times in a motorhome, Z3, flying Mondeo. The fM was a company car that flew on roads the Z was taken on, especially over narrow humpback bridges.
It was only a front light and a scratch damage came to under £300 and the access was 300 so it was not worth claimingSurely that's what fully comp is for

Most roads in the National Park are treated as knock-for-knock roads. Don't expect to win a third party claim.
When I lived there, anything inside the A595 was treated like that, but those were the days before dash cams and black boxes.

These routes should be pretty much right bar the last bit on the lakes run route from the woolpack back to the hotel .
And again these routes start and finish at the Cumbria Grand in Grange over Sands.

Thanks mate. We won't be doing Corney Fell as the bridge is goosed.
