Wife had her eyes closed ..... I was driving!  ;D The inside rear wheel skipped at most of the hairpins even though I was taking my time. I found it best  with TC OFF!  ;)  :y  :y

We attempted it a month or so back, but had to turn back due to too much snow on the Wrynose bit  :y

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving probably isn't for you

They're steep! Just got to be careful, take your time & don't let the Focus estate behind you try to push you faster than you want to go ..... I didn't.  ;) ;)
It does get interesting when you meet someone coming t'other way!  ;D ;D ;D

This is one of the steeper bits of the Hardnott Pass but the Wrynose has some equally steep bits (go don't appreciate how steep it is of the picture/link :o)

My brother drove over one of them in a minibus on his way to climb Scafell Pike, 'loosened his bowels' somewhat  ;D ;D

Looks like you've been to Aidensfield Mick. If they'd carried on with Heartbeat for a few more years they could've got some Omega police cars in!
