This is on my to do list, i did the Bealach na Ba at Applecross this year which is another pass that instills fear is some.
i must admit after reading all the stories i was ready for it... then as we started the incline it started bouncing down, water running at us like a river and a hellish sidewind.
my visor steamed up, i opened it and preferred a face full of rain and see!!, i felt all the muscles tighten across my shoulders and i was nervous
once i got over the top and round the hair pin bends going back down i could see far enough ahead to relax.
When i do Hardknott i would prefer the weather to be kinder lol
