Vik54 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Drove down to the parental unit yesterday - was fine until hit the Lakes...frozen scooshers ...got stuck in the car park at Todhills & Charnock...and so many twunts who don't understand the outside lane is for OVERTAKING However... I've done that jouney hundreds of times and never had so much fun at the end of it - my parents live at the top of a very long hill which varies from 1:3 - 1:5 gradient -and it is covered in snow- I arrived very 'gracefully' doing perfect 180 at the top PS - Dog - if you're going over Shap today don't even bother trying the outside lane - it wasn't there yesterday Quote

Vik54 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Posted December 23, 2009 Dah-link - driving and photography don't really mix especially in the blizzard-like conditions over the lakes (and TBH my moby is three years old with a sh*te camera!) However when i finally get out my PJs today I'll head outside and take a few pics of the hill and my filthy dirty girrrrl - I'm so proud of her she put several Beemers to shame yesterday Quote
stanski Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Nice one Viks - look forward to the pics Quote
martinmac Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 I am home I think I picked the right day, all the roads were fine until I got to the village. The M6 south is still a mess near Kendal. Quote
