Second steepest road in England. Vale Street in Bristol is steeper.

Stumbled across your video. Loved the dogs, we lost our 13 yr old beagle in march 2024, he always came in the roof top with us. Great memories

Watching back - just fab content guys. Thank you

The two passes don't just run into each other - the bit in the middle, (between the two cattle grids,) is actually The Duddon Valley, which is little more than a 'winding, bumpy road beside the river' and it seems to have been put there just to lull you into a false sense of security. You'll soon be brought back to reality though, no matter which direction you're driving Hardknott/Wrynose (or Wrynose/Hardknott!) - Just be ready for the next cattle grid as your warning!

Beautifully shot film Lovely people and dogs Well done

All the gear and no idea.

I know the mpg will be shocking but what about a d3 v8? Bullet proof engines

Beautiful video and location, also very informative, thankyou.

I was told by a local that the inside of some of the sharper corners is even 1:2. Went up here 50 years ago in an Austin Maxi with a slipping clutch; put it in first gear and did not dare to try to change until the top.

The first time I drove over, nearly 60 years ago, our A50 stopped suddenly (as it like to do at awkward moments) about half way up the east side. It was misty and a bit eerie but after 10 minutes it decided to restart and we carried on. Never sure, but I think going east to west is a bit more challenging that the other way. Do you agree?

First time I drove over Hardnott and Wrynose was as a competitive section in the R.L.Brown Rally in 1977 in the dark. Timed at an average speed of 30 MPH I dropped 3 minutes.

Just what i needed before work, how I miss this.

I have driven this road about five times, the first time in the 1980’s in a Austin Metro. Don’t understand the need for a Landrover.

Oh, .. and also in a Kia Sedona!

Done it three times on different BMW bikes ( 1150 GS, 1100 and 1200 RT) and also a Yamaha Fazer Fabulous scenery but you need yer wits about you. Steve

your vids are top draw ,just did the complete opposite swopped my t5 camper with all bells and whistles for FSH DISCO 4 HSE enjoyed the t5 but no matter what you do it is a van and if you're not careful a cash cow, hoping my disco lasts me 2013 its like driving on air compared to our t5 was sad to see her go but onwards and upwards all the best for the future.

I have been going here for fifty years now - used to take loads of hay bales to Seathwaite on an artic. for the farmers in the Duddon Valley. The passes are no problem to a modern car, but fifty years ago some cars struggled to start again if they missed a gear on the steepest bits. Years ago we used to sit by a steep bit and watch the fun.

Done this many times in a variety of old bangers, no need to spend £70K, haha

`Did this several time sin my A35, and then in my HB Viva. No problems.

Shot up there easily in a very snowy winters day in my Lada Niva Cossack.

Did this in my TD5 Disco 2 a few years ago

I ve cycled up a hill near Oxford, it was like a brick wall

and of course there is always some d**k on a bike who refuses to get out of the way...

What’s the big deal, crossed it in the pouring rain loads of times in my old VW Beetle. It never had a problem.

I am sure Rosedale chimney is the steepest road in England

Went up in a Ford Anglia many many years ago.

I rode this several times both ways in 1956 and 1957 on a 1955 Ariel 650cc bike. This video has a better impression of the steepness than the other videos I have seen but is still inclined to 'flatten' the road

My wife dd it as a learner in our 1300 Allegro, she passed her test fine a while later. No video does it justice

Vale Street, Bristol is about 40% gradient at the bottom (22°). Driven up it in a Series 3 LWB Land-Rover and a Bedford Viva van. Sat at the bottom and spun the clutch in a VW LT-35.

this way is harder than coming up the other way i think

Followed a Morris minor through this pass east to west. I was driving a very unpleasant, early diesel Vectra. The Morris seemed to cope better.

Equally amazing is how badly maintained the road is.

My dad used to have a Discovery 3 when I was a kid, and I thought it was a very nice car indeed. Ours was a 2005 (55-reg) HSE model with the 2.7-litre TDV6 diesel paired with the 6-speed automatic, and it was finished in a dark metallic blue (called Buckingham Blue) with the 'Alpaca' cream leather interior, which looked really nice. It was September 2010, and I remember eagerly awaiting the moment when my dad would pull up onto our driveway in it, and when I saw PN55TZH pulling onto our driveway for the first time, I immediately went outside to have a look around it, and I remember being very impressed by what I saw. Being the HSE model, it was fully loaded with all the bells and whistles, some of which we’d never had on any car we’d ever owned before, including tri-zone climate control, heated front & rear seats, rear audio controls, etc, which 10-year-old me thought was very impressive indeed. Plus, its air suspension made it a very comfortable car to travel in - as Jeremy Clarkson said in his Discovery 3 review back in Series 5 of UK Top Gear to describe the ride quality, "it doesn't go over bumps, it just flattens them." Even to this day, I consider it to be one of my favourite cars we've had out of all the cars my family has ever owned so far.

For the record, I love the ASMR and cinematic touches. I did find you thru the landy (and still want to get one) but have stayed because I love the sense of humor and the landscapes. Make the videos you like making, and if it's just to get you out and about, keep it up. I'm loving them.

14 year old volvo XC70 with 4 people and two dogs. did not even struggle. Who needs a land rover for tarmac.

you do know that If you going UP-Hill you have right of way, as folk coming downhill have gravity on their side, just saying....

First subscribe your channel for the landy overland,but know more interested to the landscape cinematic 😂,dont mind the car guy as long you enjoy making video just make it🎉

A other one of those land rover owners who carries luggage everywhere. Barrels and boxes strapped to the roof, serving little to no purpose, just so we are all clear he can go off road and into the wilderness. I'd be embarrassed mate.

Enjoyed watching this, thank you.

Crossed it several times in my Mini and later Escort - Granada - Senator.. Subject back at the hotel bar was #1 Weather, #2 Menu and #3 "that bit of steep hill"....... It is not a trip to Mars for goodness sake...

I did it in February 2020 in my Ford Echo Sport, it was fabulous. 👍

what rain jacket do you use for rainy winter days?

Phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal cinematography my friend! This looks and sounds so alluring!

Thank you very much for your VDO, I'm one of your followers, if you got a minute kindly let me know which part of Lake District you been please 😊 I'm been Lake District last summer and would like to go back again ❤

Did the same today, got stuck in the peat bogs for an hour. Ploughed through and luckily spotted some others lads. Was worried for a while! Those peat bogs are bleak! I must have missed the right turn path at Kinder Low

Very nice video, thank you! 👍

You considered an l322 3.0 TD6 with the bmw diesel mate? Absolute workhorse and pretty simple (engine wise) to fix

Nice, it looked the same the day I climbed Scafell. How was your dog going past the 100' drop and crossing(climbing) the first gill? BR John

Did it some years ago in a 1.9 laguna diesel. No probs at all ,2nd gear driven hard lock to lock. Loved it.

Гарно!!
