The Lake District

Once I left Haworth I felt a load lift from my shoulders and I started to feel good about driving again. It didnt take long for the scenery to change and in fact I was pretty blown away for most of the day. Im still kicking myself that I cant get the photos from the camera onto the computer … but here are some snapshots from the day - some of them are nthe right way around as you can see.
Tim has been telling me about this country for a long time and so its was great to experience the wonder and beauty of it. I spent most of the day on side roads again - very tight almost single line traffic in some places with high stone walls to keep the cars on the road. Down south they used hedges - here they use stone … nice and friendly
Take a look at the picture of the car. I decided to drive up a hill that said at the bottom that said not suitable for motors after half a mile. It took me a few seconds to realise that the sign meant not suitable for cars and so I soon realised that it was really steep and way too steep for the peugeot. I decided to turn around and reversed into a driveway that was too steep. I scraped the front of the car and when I tried to get out I realised I couldnt get any traction because the car wheel was a foot off the ground.
It took a whole bunch of wood and two awesome local men to help me get out of that jam - car unscathed. They were very friendly folk and I was very relieved after that. Ill save the rest of the day for later - its getting late here now.
