A brave little scooter

Andy came into the shop today and told me about his brave little scooter which he took on a run of several hundred miles. This included the Wrynose Pass which is a mountain pass between the Duddon Valley and Little Langdale.

There is a single-track road which runs over it which is said to be one of the steepest roads in England with gradients up to 1 in 3. The road continues over to Hardknott pass. 

Andy recounts some quite hair raising stories about the adventure he and his TV175 had. She pulled him all the way without breaking down.  A feat indeed and a credit to his engine building.
