Lakes, Dales and Moors Took the 200tdi 110 on a coast to coast trip last weekend. Started at Coniston for a day in the lakes (nipping to Bootle for the first 'coast' bit). Day 2 was lakes to Yorkshire Dales. Day 3 in the Dales and heading East. Day 4 in the North Yorkshire Moors finishing in Scarborough on Monday evening. Weather was great. Rain overnight but generally brightened up un the day. Scenery was stunning. I have been to the lakes a few times but not the Dales or Moors. Great trip, only one minor mishap (faulty fuel gauge so ran out halfway up a hill) and my iffy clutch managed all 1200 miles which I am amazed at. Beautiful part of the country which I shall definitely visit again. Would have loved to spend more time there.

bodstruck Member Since: 09 May 2020 Location: Wiltshire Posts: 922	Outlaw1 - yes, we did go with Tom Landymatt - lots of lanes. Dammed if I can remember the names of them but I tracked the routes on all 4 days. For lanes I think I enjoyed day 1 and 2 best (Lakes and Dales). The one disappearing up the hill in the third pic was fun.

bodstruck Member Since: 09 May 2020 Location: Wiltshire Posts: 922	Not sure I enjoyed being towed Nor the 3 mile run to get fuel once we had coasted as far as we could. Did appreciate the tow though, thank you

bodstruck Member Since: 09 May 2020 Location: Wiltshire Posts: 922	Time flies indeed. Your wolf does not look to have changed much though. In that time I have been through 2 Discovery 3's, a 110 van, a 200tdi 90 and now the two 110s I currently have. I might even have the td5 ready for the next one.
