Mini adventure
This driving stuff’s addictive. I only went out for a short walk in some pleasant surroundings. Before I knew it, I’d left the gorge and was being held up by bikers on Hartside Pass. Following a welcome cuppa outside the café at the top, I then trundled down to Penrith... and kept on going.
Keswick was next, but after a comical and totally unintentional loop of the town, I found myself exiting by the same road I’d come in. Not wanting to make the same mistake twice, I set off towards Cockermouth, making the most of the Mini’s handling on the insanely twisty dual carriageway beside Bassenthwaite lake. Alas, the sun was now setting, I’d had my fix of supercharged fun, and half of my tank-full of petrol had made its contribution to global warming. Time to head home.
But had it been better than in the Puma? All will be revealed shortly.
