Just back from a week in the lakes, sadly we couldn't take the Crossfire as the girlfriend doesn't travel light and space is limited in the roadster, so I took my Jag which was a squeeze down some of the minor roads, I wished we had been able to take the Crossfire as the roads would have been perfect for some fun in it.


If they find themselves in Grasmere or nearby I recommend they try Tweedies bar, good food and they have 8 real ales on draught which you can buy in 1/3rd pint glasses which are perfect for sampling, we did the lot and thoroughly enjoyed them.


We also hired an electric motorboat for an hour on Coniston and travelled what they call the Campbell run which was great fun even at 5 knots.


We were lucky with the weather too, mainly dry while we were there.
