There is a section on parkamoor that, unless it's been repaired since I last drove it, I wouldn't take a D3 on.

Here is a video:

Parkamoor starts at 5:00 and runs until the end.

Is this still the case for Stile End?
Is it driveable / passable safely in a 110?

If a forum event is to be organised to the Lakes would be great to tag along

It's worth mentioning about my video - don't be deceived by the patrol making it look easy. He's an excellent driver.

Its no problem, D3s make it look simple. Hardest bit was getting it down the narrow track between the dry stone walls. 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6

Looks great!

I'm in the Lakes this weekend (Ambleside) with MrsK. She won't want anything lumpy, are there any easy non-damaging green lanes near Ambleside??? Anyone got one to suggest? If it involves a nice drive away from the crowds, and a few good views I may get her converted

adsebear, beautiful photos of a lovely location.
What were such rocky roads originally used for, and I noticed some heaps of "gravel"? on the side of the road in the last image?..what is that all about?
Thanks, Pickles.
