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.

It was a really good trip. The only downside was the journey home. Left Scarborough at 1900, dropped my brother off in soutjampton at 0200 and got home at 0300. Then had to go to work later in the morning.

I would do it again though Smile Thumbs Up

Looks a lovely trip, did you fit lanes in or stick to the tarmac?

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.

Not sure I enjoyed being towed Smile Embarassed
Nor the 3 mile run to get fuel once we had coasted as far as we could.

Did appreciate the tow though, thank you Thumbs Up

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.

Many have gone from the errr Solihull fleet, but the Wolf will be with me forever...although I'm tentatively looking for a nice Minerva to fill a vacant garage slot! Since 1973...S1, Air Portable's, Defender's, but only my Wolf TUL HS GS remains
