Actually its a nightmare to drive up and down, road is very uneven and lots of blind corners, stunning views from the top though, don't you agree Metal Licker. :driving: :|

There is a road from Braithwaite village (go left) which squiggles direct to Buttermere. Oh my :crazydude: Did it in Comet with my family, never again in a big car but will do it in Zeddie. Stunning views and superb picnic places along the route which are top dollar :thumbsup: Sorry OP, off topic - the roads on your door step are simply sublime! :winner:

I know the one you mean you can turn left at Buttermere and then have a blast over Honister Pass its one of my favourites when I'm pretending to be Carlos Sainz snr :driving: :D

Did the Buttermere run yesterday, came back through Honister Pass. Unfortunately it was in a Hyundai i40 - the entire drive back I was imagining how much I'd enjoy it in the Zed (I'll be back) :(
