Gatescarth pass April 2015 - Lake District, Cumbria, UK Green laning Land Rover Defender TD5 TDI

April 4th 2015 Land Rover Defenders TD5 and TDI take on the permit green lane Gatescarth nr HawesWater / Sadgill, Cumbria (Lake District), UK.

The lane is also known as BOAT 361002 / 548015 and is operated by LDNPA and GLASS.

With steep ascents and descents, our standard Land Rover Defenders struggled for grip even though the TD5 had brand new BF Goodrich Mud KM2 tyres.

We were the first 4x4s over the pass in 2015 and it showed, winter washout had made the gravel track very loose, it was like driving on steep climbs covered in marbles!

Hairpins with steep drops make this green lane, the most challenging and most demanding in the north west of the UK.
