martinmac Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Another beautiful day today so decided to take the camera out for a run. Left home mid morning with the car telling me it was 2degC so took it easy for a while. First shot is of Windemere take from a layby which brings back horrible memories of the Lakes meet. Then drove up Rydal Water. The temp was up to 3c now so a little happier. Then up to Thirlmere, this was from the foot of Dunmail Raise. Then cruised through Keswick waving and flashing ( lights ) like a lunatic until I caught the Sunset 350z. Next was Derwent Water. And then the fun bit, Honister pass with 25% gradients. Let the clutch have a rest. Then to Buttermere. Crummock Water. And Lowes Water. Then had a nice cruise down the coast with 3 very shiny MX5s. Oh, and sorry to bore you Tomorrow the yorkshire dales. Tonight something stonger than water Quote

Only bettered by the scenery and roads on the east side of South Island in NZ, in my opinion - best driving experience I have ever had, but the Lakes sure are a close second Quote

satsuma71 Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Martin, awesome matey, wow it's beautiful round there. Quote
steve_b Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Martin pics look great. Couple of shots could have done with a filter to bring out sky, but look great anyway. Quote
xStric9x Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 WOW, looking at those pics i think another run up there is in order this year Quote
martinmac Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Dont worry, this wont go on much further. Done over a thousand miles since Thursday so cant afford it. Rather icy this morning so bottled the Yorkshire run. Did a few local shots on foot like this one at the local beach. Then back up to Keswick as my navigator forgot a lake yesterday Bassenthwaite. A few pics. And my favourite picture of Wast water. So thats all for now as I am pretty D. Going online to book this. Then its Miller time Quote
macca Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Great pictures, what camera do you use? Can't believe you've done over 1000 miles and only managed one picture of your car Macca Quote
steve_b Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Another great set of pics, some of us just have Didcot power station as local landmarks. Quote
AK350Z Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Nice pics martin, i think a lot more good driving could be had round here if the roads were more than 6 feet wide! Quote
