The 3rd one should remind you of the AA advert as it was taken at the same place!

I went through Clarty Mooer as well, I didn't do any scenic pics there though.
^^^ i love that bit as well i try to drive it as often as possible!
Excellent pics here, and ive been checking out some of your others, superb! What camera are you using and do u use a tripod at all? Heres a few of wast water from a different perspective!

I used to live at Whitehaven, I was heading up to the Malcolm Wilson Rally so took the scenic route

Cracking pics there! I don't think I'd be hanging over the top of the screes taking pics though!
My pics were with a Nikon D200, I didn't use a tripod for them.
I remember going climbing in the lakes in my first car (957cc fiesta) driving up the hardknott or wynrose pass on a particularly steep section my two mates were behind pushing and i was revving the b****cks off it in first and slipping the clutch like a goodun and it only just made it up and that is NO JOKE!!
nice pics m8 im gonna take my car up there and take some pics
Ha there was one over hanging ledge that i snook out onto, and there was a drop that must have been 400 foot, i rather cautiously retreated!!!!
All of those rally pics of yours are just superb! Are you a photographer by trade then or just hobby?
Rally bus
Thanks, the rally photography is a hobby but I've had a quite a lot of pics published in Motorsports News etc and I do press stuff for a few crews. I'm doing more competing than photographing now though, I did an event a couple of weeks ago around Newby Bridge area which was pretty good
Like a navigation type of event? I took a load of pics at the Malcolm Wilson rally on saturday but they are on my film camera, i hope they turn out good!Thanks, the rally photography is a hobby but I've had a quite a lot of pics published in Motorsports News etc and I do press stuff for a few crews.

yeah a road rally, driving round the lanes at night trying not to get lost while keeping to a target time. Great fun and cheap to enter
thanks LadySarah

Great stuff, i have a mate from Shap who used to do these in his 16 valver and 205 gti. Where do you find out about these kind of events?
Rally bus
www.britishrally.co.uk (on the forum) or your local car club - there are a few in Cumbria, KLMC, Eden Valley, West Cumbria etc. There is an event this weekend based at Garstang in North Lancs if you are interested.
pretty busy this weekend pal! But im interested in coming and having a go! Hope there arent so many really tight bends involved, 306 rallye is about as manouverable as a supertanker! and the handbrake is pretty awful lol i bet the clio is a really good car for these events on the little back roads?
Clio 182
great roads - agreed!
you're alright on the passes you mentioned, i'm scared of cumbria ever since my 3 points for 78mph on the motorway (not a joke) - so now I never drive above 70 on the M6 from Lancaster onwards, which is a shame
I'm always biking up that way, so I take my saab instead - Got to go without the bike and with the clio next time i think!

tell me about it mate!!! i've got 6 points for speeding on motorway!! nearly got an instant ban!
i was coming back from jockland in my phase1 megane coupe 2.0i 16v slightly tweeked up and put my foot down..... got up to around 120-125 just let my foot off the 'go-go pedal' to slow down abit and there it was parked up on the overhead bridge police speed van!! got a letter through the door next day saying i was doing a speed of 97mph! 100mph is an instant ban!!!! said they can settle it in court but just took the 3 points and fine! so now i try not to speed!

A friend of mine has just built a 306 Rallye for road rallying, his seems to be pretty good on the corners. Although I've used my Clio on events I used a prepped Astra now, it's safer with cage/sumpguard etc and also not as expensive if I damage it!
