I went over Hardknot over 30 years a go in a Mini Clubman with the wife in the front and 2 kids in the back, all three were in tears and in fear of dieing......happy days

Always give way to vehicles which are going up! If you're going up and decide to give way to down coming traffic because you don't have trouble on the incline, think of those who will have trouble and who get stuck behind your stationary booty!

I noticed a few little laughs, you can't help it on a roadster i love the little churp from the turbo too.

[SuperHillwalker]

Is that a fiat chickenchenko you are driving?

[mikevaleriani]

What an arrogant idiot. If you want to race, then why don't you go to a race track instead of putting other people in danger? Your kind of "games" kill thousands of people every year around the country.

[pyrogaz]

@mikevaleriani Looks like a piece of careful, courteous driving to me. You can clearly see the driver looking across the corners for approaching traffic and stopping to let them past even when they have not given way to a climbing vehicle. If you consider that reving an engine hard is dangerous you should try to climb a 1:3 hill at low revs, it just doesn't work.

looks a good road,did the honister pass today in my clio 172 cup on the way to haystacks ; )

[hardertom]

good video, amazing road, my car did it in 1st gear only :)

[isctony]

I remeber going up that in an escort in 97 with no handbrake - scary stuff! Would like to try it in my kit car no though!! :D

[simblack72]

Prob my favourite place in the UK. The lake district is just stunning.

I did ardknott Pass last week before doing a wild camp. My arse was twitching like a rabbit's nose. It's an experience.

[Krucial8]

id love to hammer it up and down there

[gooner194]

I took my Ford Puma up there 2 days ago, whilst on holiday, and it's not for the faint hearted.

I found out that my clutch is going, as all i got was high revs, when trying to do a hill start, after giving way.

[weirdbuell]

Nice job, fun drive. I would love to do on my Buell M/C but alas I'm on the wrong side of the pond!!

[Fozzy13579Bear]

Good car to do this in sort of, except the dim-whitted gearbox wasnt havving it on the uphil section before dropping down to seathwaite!

One thing to always keep telling yourself when on single lane roads and passing places. Who has right of way?

Me :D

[Tpavra]

The person going down the hill has right of way.

[Fozzy13579Bear]

WRONG

The person going UPhill has right of way...

but i still stand by my step-dads and own rule.

Who has right of way?

ME!

[jonathanburford]

Err I don't think so. You like alot of people it would seem obviously haven't read the highway code! You give way to those coming UP Hill!

[rikwatson200]

i was on that road recently in a Honda Jazz and at about where 1:12 in the vid is we hit a massive pothole in the road. Great fun though

[CEAW75]

Recently came over the pass going to eskdale camping, fully loaded c-max with top box and crying kids in the back,not to mention the 10 ft visibility mist . Intresting!!!

[Gingerpex]

beutiful road could hardly seed the road when coming down some of those sharp hairpins over my civic's never ending bonnet i would have loved to have driven it a bit harder but the weather was apuauling!
