Drove Yeti (110) through fog and rain tonight from Ambleside to St. Bees via Little Langdale, Wrynose Pass and Hardknott Pass. Took an hour and five minutes - locals will no doubt appreciate that's good going by anyone's standard.

Was absolutely amazed with its handling - hugged the tight bends and was more than responsive heading up the steep bits. Wouldn't normally drive like a loon but I did a similar drive in a Discovery I once had and it wallowed about like a motor boat. Cornering fogs and Xenons were really useful.

The downside was when I switched off the fogs and went back to auto-lights - twice I plunged myself into total darkness which is not good on those twisty fell roads in the middle of no where!

All in all, well chuffed even if I haven't had the chance to have a 'play' with it in the snow this year.

I am very jealous of the drives you can take, I got to go from Thanet to Rochester today, boring Motorway and horrific town driving.

Glad your liking the Yeti, I love night time driving(without the glare of so many others) the cornering xenon's are heaven, i haven't had to use the fogs yet, but the problem of changing from auto lights has concerned me,

I have been waiting(hoping) for a job application at a certain power generating facility near by to be accepted, but nothing so far, then I can enjoy the scenery all the time, rather than getting my Tent ripped to shreds at the caravan site at st Bees!
