Hi all,

Spotted whilst up in the lakes last week!

Furness Reflexology........sign written on the back of a black sccobie with private plates M*** **K

Green wagon parked in the centre of Grasmere with all sorts of sign writing

Yucky red scoobie drove up and down the section of lake at Bowness with a young couple in it on wednesday.

Nice black sccobie in Grasmere which turned out to be a GLX!

I was there from Fri to Mon (nr Langwathby) and driving around the lakes and i didn't see anyone at all! You were all obviously hiding behind roadsigns and bushes as my DBM classic lumbered around 4-up plus kit.

Don't expect to thrash round the country lanes in your scoobie!

You'll spend more time stopping to let others by or reversing to a passing place!

Wrynose/Hardnott pass is a must for the sheer experience and the view but hard on the brakes!

Didn't see any speed camera's but quite a few plods about, so just beware!

Ace place to visit, especially the White Heart Inn at Bouth great food.

Like that Steven?;) There are no fixed position cameras in the Lakes...yet! I wouldn't say that Wrynose and Hardknott are good driving roads, too many tourists;)! Try a route something like this. From Keswick head west over Whinlatter Pass (Forests either side used by M-Sport for testing Focus WRC's). When you get to a village called Lorton turn South-ish and head to Buttermere. Then head over Newlands Pass or carry on to Honister Pass. Both start a little tight and rough but open out to nice driving roads complete with hairpins etc.

got that route in my sat nav(ordnance survey atlas:D) so will be up there in the next couple of weeks.

Darren

Ooooooo never thought of that route and didn't get up that far whilst we were there last week!

I envy all you Cumbrian scoobie's, such a lovely place to live
