Hi Pippy,
we were staying at Thurnham near Lancaster. Travelled up west cumbrian coast to Ravenglass as we'd never been there. Took lil ratty upto Dalegarth & back. Very scenic.
Then drove up Eskdale valley to Hardknott pass. :yikes
I'm walking it next time - It was scary :shock: and I was driving.
After getting to Hawkshead we stopped for dinner and more importantly
a beer :D
