Rainy Drive Along Hardknott Pass, Wasdale to Ambleside, English Countryside 4K

۞ www.buymeacoffee.com/Daveswalks
All support is hugely appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!
No talking, just driving! Exploring the English Countryside. First of many drives around the Lake District. Starting in Wasdale next to Wastwater Lake we drive over to the town Ambleside driving along an amazing road, the Hardknott Pass, It is a single track road right through the middle of the Lake District, and is very steep and twisting, but great fun. The Hardknott Pass ties with Rosedale Chimney in North Yorkshire for the title of steepest road in England, with both achieving a gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%). Towards the end it starts to rain heavy as I finish the drive in Ambleside.
My 14th of hopefully many KZbin Drives.
Time and date of drive: 1pm 29th September 2021 English Autumn

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!
I upload every Sunday 11.45am GMT (3.45am PST) (6.45am EST) (5.15pm IST) (9.15pm ACST)

I use the free version of Davinci Resolve 16 to do some really basic editing. Mainly making sure the sky isn't over exposed. It's from Camera straight to KZbin. No cuts, no fancy business, no talking, just walking.

Anyone else enjoy the rainy videos best? I especially love the rainy walks and hearing the rain drops splatter on the umbrella 😊

[@romeong1210]

while watching this i feel like i'm on a date drive around the town with bf that i've never had

[@peterfawcett9969]

I drove over it ONCE about 1974 in a Ford Anglia on a hot day. Just got to the top and my radiator bolied over. So I removed the rardiator cap - very slowley..... I swore NEVER AGAIN ! and I havent......But enjoyed riding shot gun with you.

[@mach1nefan]

Heaven. ❤

[@dawnyWestScotland]

The scenery is beautiful in all weathers, looks like my Scotland a little wet!

WOW WHAT A DRIVE, I FEEL A LITTLE SICK NOW.

[@KevinTheCountryman]

Awesome rainy day drive Dave. Loving the views!

[@DavesWalks]

Thanks Kevin 👍

[@derniederrheiner4518]

I drove the Hardknott Pass about 40 years ago. BMW R80, 2up, luggage. Twice oncoming traffic, "Uphill has right of way!", the rule probably only exists in the Alps and Dolomites. And stopped in 2nd gear. *Grrr The second time my pillion descended and walked the rest.

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

When I tell you Dave mate....that this is my FAVORITE of all your diving videos, that is the understatement of the year. And I Love your driving videos. From choice of location, to choice of route, to the scenery, to the pace of the drive, to the weather, to the sense of adventure in it.....everything is just so absolutely wonderful in this one. All the kudos for this.

[@DavesWalks]

This drive was a pleasant surprise I wasn't expecting. Not really knowing the lake district at all, it was just all a lucky coincidence. I fancied filming a walk in Ambleside, thought I would film the drive, and the GPS sent me over the mountains, I had no idea it got that steep and as dramatic only after Googling the route after did I learn it is the steepest road in the UK ( well tied with another road in Yorkshire for the steepest road ) I think it is too my favourite drive I have done to date, and will take some beating! 😊👍

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

@@DavesWalks - It was perfect in so many ways. I recently watched it on my tv, and it makes for such a wonderful experience. I kept waiting for your vehicle and the oncoming ones to meet in a place where there wasn't a section to pull aside and pass, just to see what happens in those narrow lanes when that occurs,....but you were always lucky enough to have a passing section handy. Lol. It made the drive, quite the adventure.

[@DavesWalks]

I too was waiting to hit an impass with someone, was just very lucky for the whole drive, usually it just means reversing until a section where we can tuck the mirrors in and squeeze past.

[@nived2419]

Really soothing video. A phenomenal experience. Love from India❤

Glad you enjoyed it Nived!😊👍

Dear Dave thanks. Travelling in my favourite northern places, we're green thanks to rain. I'm not a motorist. Lancashire lass (before govt decided to call us Merseyside)🕊️

Hasn't changed much since the Roman Legions travelled Hardknott

[@realwalks1859]

Great video. I used to do this drive in the 90's when I went to my dads in the Lakes for the weekend. A very windy road where we had to stop every two minutes for me or my sister to be sick. Ha Ha

[@ilcondottierocartografo6770]

Beautiful weather experienced in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

You've inspired us to take a autumn holiday up there and go and drive this route Dave! We've done a few of your walking routes in the peaks too! Thanks for all the great ideas mate.

[@DavesWalks]

It's a pleasure, glad you are inspired! 👍😊

We did it Dave! Was lovely!! Thank you for the idea

Well driven despite the rain, and thank you for a delightful journey.

Rain is the main theme to make this video fantastic

[@DavesWalks]

I do oddly enjoy the rain every now and again.. Mostly when I don't have to go out in it..

[@tranngohongson2974]

@@DavesWalks LoL walking with an umbrella ☔️ listening to rain drop is one of the most chill moments in my life

Thank you. Much needed on a hot California October day!

[@gabilang8407]

Gosh ! What a ride !

[@michaelreilly4509]

Really enjoyed this drive. I read some Detective series that are in that area and the Dales, to actually see where they are driving is just fantastic. I've driven some in the south around Winchester, but did not get up North, so thanks for the drives. Love the Liquid Sunshine too. Cheers from Texas.

[@murielneve7974]

tricky when the sun's not shining. I can't tell whether you're travelling north or south. I try to follow you on a 1997 AA road atlas and spot the road signs of villages you're going through. I need a magnifying glass for both. If you felt like adding the names in the description or annotations along the way... it would be appreciated. cut the speed to half going over the pass to better enjoy the ride.... magnificent

[@romaindacosta1401]

Really nice countryside, love the atmosphere!! from a frenchmen

[@dancleasby151]

Those views! Hope you got to do Honister Pass as well.

[@DavesWalks]

I did indeed film along the Honister Pass 😊👍

[@amycole8974]

At about 1:22:52 the wipers on your car were not going fast enough to keep up with the rain. Moving to Canada many years ago I still miss that beautiful rain.

[@nooralhoda8618]

This is breathtaking . God bless you for this video sir .

[@DavesWalks]

Thank you 😊👍

[@Bedeborah]

We're going somewhere. Let's go Dave! Wait, did we just pass a sheep? It seems strange driving on the left side of the road.

[@TheWickedgit]

This was fantastic, Dave. I don't get out to Cumbria anymore but it's my spiritual home. Brought back many happy memories. Thank you so much. Btw, what car are you driving here? I'm guessing Land Rover or Disco?

[@DavesWalks]

A suzuki Vitara.

[@imtiazalikhan4553]

Thanks! there is no background music.

[@DavesWalks]

No problem😊👍

It got a bit tight on those back roads did it not! The vehicles keep getting g bigger but the roads do not hehe. Great drive the day 😊

@@DavesWalks Ah nice 😻 I would love to try Hardknott pass + Wynrose pass, but bringing my LR3 over might be a bit costly 😜
