Welcome from another Worcestershire lad, although I left in 1969 , and sadly my parents passed away some years ago.
I also dabbled in sprints and hillclimbs initially , but it was racing that really hooked me.
I too have a real love of the Lake District , but the area I know best is the northern part around Cockermouth. I must admit the roads through the lakes are tad crowded with grockels these days for me , so I prefer the Dales for more open motoring.
Enjoy your new Morgan to the max, but just take a few months to learn it, and get used to the lack of driver aids etc , especially coming from modern saloons.
