You can't really see it but this is about halfway up a one mile stretch of 1 in 5 uphill incline. The summit was over 1,500ft, which is one of England's highest roads. I'm not good with heights, it was raining, and you can probably make out that the top of the hill is deeply enveloped in cloud. The picture also shows one of the straighter bits :-) I speak freely as I'm amongst friends...my arse was wide - I've never been so glad to have a powerful car :-)
We decided to head home via the Lake District in Cumbria. Foolishly followed some of my old man's directions and ended up on the Kirkstone Pass.
