Oh yeah i did see the pics nice looking zed. Regarding the sun burnt head lots of factor 20 at least and i still look like a huge malteser, even my wife has resorted to a hat or a scarf over her head due to getting her scalp burnt couple of weeks ago. Will have to keep an eye out for you 8)

I never would have thought the words sunburn and Cumbria would ever be used in the same sentence! Haha 8)

Even when the sun is not out and the roof is down, you would surprised how much tan you will catch. :cry: :lol:

Oh my :crazydude: Did it in Comet with my family, never again in a big car but will do it in Zeddie. Stunning views and superb picnic places along the route which are top dollar :thumbsup: Sorry OP, off topic - the roads on your door step are simply sublime! :winner:
Took the very road on Saturday :driving: picnic alongside Buttermere then up to Honister Pass , not exactly great roads for cracking on a but scenery was stunning

Nice one Tom , have you ever taken pics of Wast Water ? Totally different feel to the other lakes , reminded me a lot of the Scottish Loch's , was misty & moody when i was there on Saturday , would love to go back on a clear day
