Write Up The Lakes Tour 2019

[Synclare]

A quick shot taken on Sunday outside the Kirkstone Pass Inn, a former coaching inn dating back to 1496, reputed to be haunted and sitting on one of the highest points.

Finally a big thanks to Mike (mwpe) without who's help I would not have been there. Not only did he chauffeur me around but also detoured to pick me up and drop me back home following surgery which prevented me driving. Can't speak highly enough of the people that make this forum/club what it is (And dear old Gaz who created it of course!!)

Just got back home after having an extra day in the Lake District (over 1000 miles in all). Had an amazing time seeing places and roads we never knew existed all thanks to Andy 's planning and organisation, and not forgetting Steve (our leader) and Mint. Photos are incredible, scenery breathtaking, lovely hotel and such a friendly group of enthusiasts. What a brilliant experience all round especially with the roof down and the sun shining on us! Thanks to everyone. Bob & Sue

Glad you both enjoyed it.

@Stevo7682 seems to have got in to two out of three too!

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Maybe @Stevo7682 is the fifth Beetle.

A few photos from us. Unfortunately not as many driving ones with you guys as planned. But we had a fab weekend anyway.
Thanks to everyone and hope to see you soon.

This is the part of the tour that the other groups did not do. It's Hardknott Pass from East to West, don't worry there is no audio on this clip:

Wow there's a quality bit of road . Scenery looked stunning though

Yep, steeper on the way up that way, great to do it both ways

Billiard table smooth Dave

 

[Mrs Mint]

Interesting the speed shown on that footage @Mint seemed much faster

 

[t-tony]

I turn the speed off on my videos for the other reason Pauline.

Tony.

Irrefutable proof that I wasn't going as fast as you thought

Great footage Dave,
Funnily enough we’ve done hardknott on numerous occasions
But never east to west!

Sounds like he didn’t know which direction he was going
Just luck it happened to be the Hardnott he was doing
