Just back from the lakes in my trusty steed, not a lr yet sob sob. Anyway on kirkstone pass. Had head 2 head with a coach. No passing places. Edged past mirrors in. How do you guys get on in narrow country roads? Apart from goin off road lol. Btw kirkstone pass inn still fab. Live your life be free-lander

I look forward to how far onto the verge I can go

Other than that, it's not that much wider than anything else.

Admittedly, when I was in the lakes, doing the Hard Knot Pass, an elderly lady came towards me, going up hill, in an ageing Morris Minor. I was trying my hardest to get to the passing place, as there wasn't any space to pull over (quite sharp drop at the edge), but she just kept coming, I could tell she was worried about stopping and then getting started again. Made me very scared , as I literally only just made it to the spot where I could move out of the way. If I hadn't sped up, or driven off the edge, I doubt she'd have stopped.

love it love it,i live just under Wrynose and hardknott pass and i do that road once or twice a week,the HST Auto loves it No problems.
Its the best 4 x 4 by far,and it suits the narrow roads,it allows me to climb the sides of the raods and sometimes get off the road altogether!! .
Free cup of tea if any one is passing my campsite,its the one with the Camping Pods on, the kettle is always on,fancy a sunday drive over wrynose !!

exactly same happened to me in wales I ended up so far up a verge Mrs G though we were going to roll over! I am used to a fair bit of side slope driving but on that occasion I fairly well agreed with mrs G. but if I hadnt the old dear would have rammed us for sure At work
