Help identify this Lake District location?

[ArsE92]

Good morning one and all!

A couple of years ago I took this picture up in the Lake District somewhere, not far from Windermere I'm sure. I want to go back up there today in the new jalopy but can't remember whereabouts it is! I've posted this picture on here before and someone recognised the location so I'm hoping it's well known. It's a small area for parking off quite a fun, twisty road...

Any help appreciated and will be rewarded with a new shot later

Amazing! That's the one, thank-you.

Road-trip a-go-go!

I like to do that,return to a location i had previously visited with an old car.

Shame about Clio ? in the way.

The pub at the top isn't bad either, mrs slopes and i stopped there late last year for a swift drink whilst out and about in the lake district

Beautiful spot and some great roads to get up there

Nice! I was taking it steady - new car and nervous passenger (wife).

Great road and a cracking view

Everybody's done it. Great moody vista.

There's a nasty pothole in that car park from what I remember

Here's my usual photo spot, just up the road from the OP's, on the road down to Ambleside called "The Struggle":

Yup, one there as well.
It's the road down to Ambleside.

This is when it's the most fun.

My mum lives at the bottom of there.

The stink of boiled brakes from nervous visitors descending can be more breathtaking than the view.

Have a pint at the pub at the top, then a cheeky pint at the Golden Rule at the bottom while the discs cool down.

Another one looking up The Struggle

Last time I was there, I remember thinking it would be a great drive in a hairy chested Griff or similar. Love the metallic sage green colour, I don't think I have seen one in that shade before.

The garage at the bottom of the hill in Patterdale sells brake fluid. Don't ask me how I know this

Red pit Car park - I was there back in 2001



Mrs _deano didn't want her face in this pic - hence it being removed.
Don't know why - she looked a hell of a lot better 10 years ago ;-)

Just taken a hell of a punch in the arm for that comment
