Old Coach Road - Lake District - Cumbria
Had a trip across the Old Coach Road in the Lake District last week. Not bad weather for October and there some very nice views to be had. Thought I'd share a few pics as it's the first time I'd got this car dirty!

When we did it the last time the start was very washed-out compared to previous trips...is it still bad or have they done work on it ?"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

That's my only concern, previous trips elsewhere I've always gone in groups through fear of any breakdowns..

There were some washed out bits but nothing was too much of a struggle. I only had road tyres and no sump guard fitted etc.Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0 JTDM Veloce
