Brown Trousers moment

Post by NorthernBloke »

Excuse the language in the clip :)

The weather on the Lakes Tour this year was a little less than perfect - this clip was taken going through the Honister Pass on Buttermere.

As we approached a 90 degree left I went for the brakes and the peddle went almost to the floor and then as I pressed harder the front wheels locked up and we started sliding towards the bank on the right. I let them off and went for them again with the same result so, as the corner was fast approaching I had no chioce but to go for it.

I put the car into the left hander and we got round, after going half way up the back - what you can't see is the 100+ft drop off the other side :o

Turned out to be a blown rear brake cylinder
