We decided to have a weekend in the Lakes, just because we could. The ZR was the transport of choice only because the BGT isn't ready yet.
Rather than the straight run across the A66 we decided to take a more leisurely scenic route through Richmond, Leyburn, Hawes & Sedburgh before crossing the M6 to our destination in Bowness on Lake Windermere.
You wouldn't believe that I washed this car before we set off. I think I'll give up car washing.

As there was plenty of the day left we decided to cross Wrynose and Hardnott passes. These are two great roads and I try to drive them at least once with every MG. I haven't managed with every MG but I have driven the TA, a ZA Magnette and a Y Type.
This run wasn't the challenge that it has been with other cars. I suppose that's because of the advances in technology and drivability of more modern cars.
These two videos show the great scenery up on the hilltops. Considering it's mid April there was still quite a bit of snow laid about. I hate to think what it must have been like in Winter.
