A mum thought she and her family were going to die on a drive through the Lake District.
Hardknott Pass between Eskdale and the Duddon Valley is incredibly narrow and has many twisting bends. It has been described as one of the country's most outrageous roads, boasting hairpin turns, a very steep incline and an unpredictable surface.
It is one of the more direct routes from the central Lakes to West Cumbria, but drivers are often encouraged to take significant detours in order to avoid it. One family's recent experience shows why.
