After a long drive yesterday, we took it a bit easier today. We started by driving to the Lakeland Motor Museum. It exceeded our expectations. A large collection of cars, motorcycles, bikes and toys. Plus a separate exhibition about Malcolm and Donald Campbell.
In a separate building was the Malcolm and Donald Campbell exhibition.
Two cars then drove on to Windemere to have lunch. The third strayed off to another museum. We found a restaurant in the harbour which was ok.
After lunch we drove back to Coniston. We went to the Ruskin Museum. The Bluebird K7 wasn’t there since it is due to return to the water in May. But they had other interesting objects related to Campbells as well as Coniston.
Mrs A had an interview to attend to in the afternoon. So, I decided to drive over the Hardknott Pass. It’s supposedly the steepest road in England with a gradient of 33%. Of course it’s a single track road as well.
