Hardknott Pass, Britain's steepest road![]() Incredible winding, steep (its "1 in 3"), dipping, frightening route over Hardknott and then down Wrynose Pass between Eskdale and Langdale. Unless you've attempted this route in a 1977 Datsun, you can't argue with me. People were cheering me on round the steep bends!
Here's a 9 minute video of a bloke on a motorbike doing Hardknott. You'll see the worst bit at around 3:50 and also 5:24 - except I was traveling up that! CommentsSimon Collison

I did it in my Morris Minor traveller and had to do a three point turn just before the last bend and reverse up it as the engine kept cutting out in first gear .... very scary!! (nearly set the brakes on fire coming down the other side too - glowing red hot when we stopped at the pub)
