Inside Volvo UK have announced that the winner of their Greatest Drive Competition – and the proud owner of a brand new S60 R-Design – is Martin Baker with his “Pass? Me? Never?” entry! Many congratulations to him for his drive through the Lake District which is truly stunning.
It starts at the Apple Pie Eating House in Ambleside, before heading out to Little Langdale, then Coxley Beck and what’s known as the Wrynose Pass, with challenging steep U turns, sharp 1 in 3 rises, more continual rises, and constant twists and turns. After the decent, the route heads towards Beckfoot on the Hardknott Pass where there’s a stunning view from the top. The journey finishes with a sampling of real ale in The Boot Inn.
Have a look at the video below to see Martin’s drive for yourself.
