Ryan Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 whats the details of this one then, i take it im one of the only people in the lakes area normally, must admit it will be brilliant when im on the road as il have all of these roads just around the corner, ive flew round them in my old mini a few times, in fact in june there is a lakes tour for the minis again, anyway back on topic there is one place where if you come to the lakes you have to go to. its a place called ashness bridge and its above derwent water, in my opinion the best view in the lakes.quick trivia can anyone tell me how many lakes are in the lake district?
