    Anyone else enjoy the rainy videos best? I especially love the rainy walks and hearing the rain drops splatter on the umbrella 😊

    When I tell you Dave mate....that this is my FAVORITE of all your diving videos, that is the understatement of the year. And I Love your driving videos. From choice of location, to choice of route, to the scenery, to the pace of the drive, to the weather, to the sense of adventure in it.....everything is just so absolutely wonderful in this one. All the kudos for this.

      This drive was a pleasant surprise I wasn't expecting. Not really knowing the lake district at all, it was just all a lucky coincidence. I fancied filming a walk in Ambleside, thought I would film the drive, and the GPS sent me over the mountains, I had no idea it got that steep and as dramatic only after Googling the route after did I learn it is the steepest road in the UK ( well tied with another road in Yorkshire for the steepest road ) I think it is too my favourite drive I have done to date, and will take some beating! 😊👍

      @@DavesWalks - It was perfect in so many ways. I recently watched it on my tv, and it makes for such a wonderful experience. I kept waiting for your vehicle and the oncoming ones to meet in a place where there wasn't a section to pull aside and pass, just to see what happens in those narrow lanes when that occurs,....but you were always lucky enough to have a passing section handy. Lol. It made the drive, quite the adventure.

    • @DavesWalks
      @DavesWalks  3 года назад +3

      I too was waiting to hit an impass with someone, was just very lucky for the whole drive, usually it just means reversing until a section where we can tuck the mirrors in and squeeze past.

    It was 1972 and i was on my Honeymoon with the wife in our old Zephyr Zodiac 3 speed column change, half way up i noticed the temperature gage was visibly moving into the red, barely made it to the top with steam pouring out like a steam engine, left it a good half hour before i dared to undo the radiator cap , those S bends were really tricky especially on the nice day that we went over as there were cars coming down at the same time, so yea quite exciting really , but the old car made it and all the way back down to Kent .

    tricky when the sun's not shining. I can't tell whether you're travelling north or south. I try to follow you on a 1997 AA road atlas and spot the road signs of villages you're going through. I need a magnifying glass for both. If you felt like adding the names in the description or annotations along the way... it would be appreciated. cut the speed to half going over the pass to better enjoy the ride.... magnificent

    I drove the Hardknott Pass about 40 years ago. BMW R80, 2up, luggage. Twice oncoming traffic, "Uphill has right of way!", the rule probably only exists in the Alps and Dolomites. And stopped in 2nd gear. *Grrr
    The second time my pillion descended and walked the rest.
