A view of Hardknott Pass, after we'd negotiated it & Wrynose. Some very kind friends, I call them kind & friends but not sure if that's what they really are! took us around Wrynose & Hardknott passes last week. It was something we'd wanted to do for a while but couldn't drive it ourselves, so it was quite an experience. The drops aren't bad it's the narrowness of the road when you have to pass an oncoming car & then the angle of the road on Hardknott, it is literally vertical, 1:3, to be truthful!
The photos are truly disappointing as it doesn't look high at all.
And this is Hardknott Roman Fort, absolutely beautiful, but I just feel so sorry for the poor Romans who were stationed there, in just togas & open-toed sandals.
