Andyman Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi All Just got back from a few days in the Lake District – car did not miss a beat for 800 miles. Went through the Wrynose Pass 390m up near to Scafell Peak on very narrow winding roads with shear drops and 30 degree inclines. Test anybodies driving skills! Great place with fantastic views all round with the top down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 You should have told us bud, we can provide guides. Wrynose is best enjoyed now before the masses turn up, its hard enough to sort out what you are doing without idiots driving down the middle of the road.

Andyman Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Did not know there was such a thing. Interesting when you meet cars coming in the other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adammitch69 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 last time I drove the Wrynose Pass it was pissing down so hard there was a mini river coming down the road ....needless to say that attempting 30% incline in water was interesting!!

GlenMH Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 2758m? Pffft! Try 2802m at the top of Col de Bonnette, which is the highest pass in Europe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris84 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 this is what i was looking for nice. in the lakes at the moment, planning on scooting up wrynose over next few days. should be interesting, already had a few near misses with the rocks sticking out of the rock face along roads and ppl thinking their little KAs need 2/3s of the road. killers on the juice here as well, spent most my time riding 3rd and 4th but it's a laugh.

max Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 If you get the chance have a run over Honister pass probably the best pass in the lakes(if its open). max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
