Title: Family Holiday to The Lake District
Post by: LordShiplane on 30 August 2009, 21:11:49

Took our Mig to the Lakes last week. 323 miles done easy as!! got out feeling refreshed. It really is the BEST motorway cruiser I have ever owned. racked up another 400 odd miles doing the sights and came home.
Best road was the B5289 from Keswick, thru Borrowdale and up & over the Honister Pass into Buttermere then complete the round trip up the Newlands pass (a minor v.steep road ) back to Keswick. Highly recommended.
