any place with "pass" in its name is a good start - but its best seen on foot.

Hardknott's just a boring old road just like Kirkstone
Hardknotts is driveable in high gearing on my Disco 300tdi as I use it as a short cut when we have been testing with MSport at Ennerdale Forest. Used it many a time back in the '70's as it was a selective (have seen over the ton on the top) on Road Rallies and is still used on Le-Jog each year. You will enjoy the views if it is clear.

I've cycled over it (when I was younger and my legs didn't look like budgie legs, which they do now - see my avatar ) and it was a killer, but driving over it later on in the MGB the only problem was not being able to see past the bonnet. If you want a steep hill, I think one of the steepest in GB has to be Rosedale Chimney.

Even Rosedales not that demanding in a family saloon. The road up to Levisham near Pickering North Yarksheer is pretty steep and has urpin bends on it, but still int that demanding in an ornery car. The steepest most demanding surfaced road Ive been on is the one over the hills into Applecross on the west cost of Scottishland.
