TOTH 15 - On the Road
I'm on my way south. New sat-nav took me by way of Ettrick then over the Kirkstone and Hardknott passes. Didn't know that Carlsberg made sat-navs.

You got lost on the way down?  Lost me? Never. And so long as the rush hour traffic isn't too bad on the Peripherique I'll be at Shelsley Walsh in plenty of time.

Love pictures, especially photo 3. It's not Hardknott Pass though. Maybe not, but it was taken about 300m east of the pass! No rain in the Lake District so maybe it's being able to see the backdrop that causes confusion. It was on the Struggle, we've driven that last sunday. Beautiful pictures, as ever! It has been raining here everyday from sunday on, since yesterday weather seems improving and today is sunny! Planning to drive the Hardtknott Pass today!

They should do like they did at Mog 15 an award for the furthest travelled - great way to reward and encourage more Moggers to come. Exactly my thought!! plus rewards significant effort!! Whats to stop our moderators giving a TM furthest travelled "Award"??!!

Makes me want to go and crosss a few countries to get to Shelsley myself and take a very long way around!

No rain in the Lake District so maybe it's being able to see the backdrop that causes confusion. If you were east of the pass you'd be looking down towards Cockley Beck Bridge, Wrynose Bottom and The Duddon Valley. There wouldn't be a tarn in view. Picture 1 is the approach to The Struggle with the Kirkstone Pass Inn in the distance at the top of the pass. I can't place picture 2 but I'm pretty sure it's not anywhere on the Hardknott Pass road.

Makes me want to go and crosss a few countries to get to Shelsley myself and take a very long way around! I know somebody is coming from Lake Como, that's hard to beat! We had a little detour to the Lake District, starting from the most south part of Holland. Even tried some diesel in the Morgan during the travel, but that didn't workout well.....

No rain in the Lake District so maybe it's being able to see the backdrop that causes confusion. I stand corrected. Well I actually sit corrected in the sunshine with a coffee and an ice cream. Pics 1 & 4 are on the Struggle looking back up towards the Kirkstone Inn. 2 & 3 are on the Wrynose Pass while heading up towards the Hardknott Pass. In mitigation given my abilities both to not know where I am and to not worry about it, I reckon I was pretty close!
