Stop moaning you girl, I used to come from 'Haven each week, home and away, it's dead on 200 miles to Hull you know!

I'd take the M6 upto Penrith (J40) if I were you, it's a lot much easier drive then getting off at J36 and contending with all them bends and fell roads. There seem to be a high proportion of lorries on there too considering the type of roads.
I went via hardknot pass once. not for a rugby match... i 'thought' it was quicker even though ive hiked up there many a time, i thought a car would quickly get me from ambleside area to whitehaven easily... i thought wrong.

The chemical plant is more or less closed down now.

There are some right wierdos there though, such as the Mark Calderwood Appreciation Society who sits on Row C of the East Stand near the 40 m line. That Willie C's alright for a Bongo though :wink:
