I once took my sister's 2CV over Wrynose into Langdale. Let's just say - their brakes weren't the best on normal roads. By the time I got down the bottom they were all overheated and it felt like I had no brakes at all. I decided discretion was the best course, pulled over to give them a chance to cool, then drove home via the main roads..!

swittle Apr 2020 10:16pm, 23 Apr 2020 62,881 posts	0 swittle Yes, I went to subtitles & no sound after a few mins. tbh, if there was no commentary at all, the prog would be just as enjoyable. imho

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
