Hardknott pass

Buttertubs pass is Clarkson's favourite Buttertubs Pass, North Yorkshire

Stop and have a pint o Black Sheep at the Red Lion in Langthwaite (All Creatures Great and Small pub), buy an ice cream from Eller, head down the road to Muker and you're away.

Some great off roading on Bellerby Moor if you can avoid the tanks and heavy artillery

yu still are to some
but theres bein a lad and bein "a lad"

Aye I had to go from Applecross to Inverness with a bald back tyre to get a new un. It was the only one in the North of Scottishland. The pics bring back memories speshly the fost one. Will go back sometime and take our Myrtle to show her what she missed.

I once followed a 10 year old Ford minibus up Hardknott full of scouts.
But dont let that put you off its still a great drive and i allways take time to drive it when i'm up there.
Ps
Give way too up hill traffic cause a hill start is a bugger.

i think hardknotts or wrynose is billed as the steepest road in england.
i did drive a 998cc mini over both last year so i dont think you will be troubled!
get an OS explorer map (orange cover) and find some byways

It's knott winch territory! Hehe! Anyway, it's a bit steep for a road but within the capability of any family car..

Cheers,

Dennis
