The trip by car to the airport is now a issue as travel insurance is such a grey area covering this. Have we any learned experts ?

just checked my insurance and it would I think in this scenario be covered Dorset. This insurance come as part of a Nationwide account we have.

Look at a OS map and you can work out a great little single track road route from Shap to Hawswater, then to Ullswater. Sign says water board road but I have used it off and on for over 40 years, passes a nice little pub called Patricks Well (I think thats the name). FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Got a road out the other end Its actually quite a quaint spot once you get to know it, couple of pubs, chip shop, lido (thats an outdoor swimming pool) old abbey amid fab wild country. Bleak to the outsider though . If you want a mid journey break Penrith is a really nice spot nowadays, or try Rheged. Lowther, just up the A6 well worth a look if time permits. Avoid the lakes, its full. PS the old water board road (made to make the Haweswater dam) is great, a bit bumpy at the far end & still open recently (it used to be barred). Sorry about the fred drift ... FL2 Ex D2, D3, RRS, etc. now all gone. |

While you are in the area Tenet you will probably want to book yourself a day some where like Eden Lacey . Your Freelander 2 will be just the ticket for getting around the beats there on the riverside tracks

There wasn't anything at Shap whether there is now I have no idea, it was famous in the winter before the M6 was built, if there was going to be snow on the way to Scotland that's where it would be, if you couldn't make it over Shap without help then you wouldn't make Glasgow as Beattock Summit would not be passable. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I seemed to have been attributed to remarks about Shap - nothing to do with me I can assure you.

In northern Australia you can't check the depth as the crocodiles will get you! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
