Hard Knott Pass

Hard Knott Pass, Cumbria

One of the steepest roads in England, Hard Knott Pass is a one in three gradient (33% in modern terms) and consists of a series of hairpin bends that take a tortuous climb upwards. In the wet, with a front wheel drive Ford Ka, a full frontal assault appeared to be the only way to go, though I believe my passenger kept her eyes closed for most of the trip!
