Nice shots 

Looks like Derwent and Ladybower reservoirs  I was up there a couple weeks ago.  Stunning scenery.

That's right. and I agree the scenery is gorgeous and the roads around it are superb too....Snake Pass was voted one of the top ten driving roads in the UK and the bridge in the third shot marks the start of it.

I can certainly see why.

On a recent trip home to Yorkshire (I come from Halifax), I set aside a couple of days to drive Snake Pass and the Upper Derwent Valley, followed by south Pennines and Dales, and was not disappointed.  It was superb driving. Kent is sadly lacking in that respect

Yorkshire is gods own county, so he looked after us......you got the garden county!

[Booth11]

I suppose Kent has some redeeming features, but even after 20 years here I will never consider it to be my county.   Once from Yorkshire, always from Yorkshire!

You can take a Yorkshire lad out of Yorkshire, but you cant take the Yorkshire out of a Yorkshire lad.

Almost right....."You can take a Yorkshire lad lass out of Yorkshire, but you cant take the Yorkshire out of a Yorkshire lad lass"

Both are right then.

Gets my vote looks stunning against the backdrop.

Update.......

So with a little more tweakage, setting and playing with the boost controller I decided to have a dyno run on a hub dyno to get some accurate hub/wheel HP. The dyno was a Dynapack, which is the same make/model that APR use to run their Golf R's on in the USA. The figures are at the hub, so basically whp!!!

Even a minimum 10% addition to these figures for drivetrain losses works out at 408+bhp, more realistically would be around 12-15% losses. The run was only done with 99ron and 50/50 water, methanol. The run also only went to 6200rpms and was still gaining power. When Rick tried to alter the dyno to use more rpm's the dyno didn't want to know, so there are a few more whp in the bag yet. For comparison APR stage 3 figures are shown under my graph and are 371whp and 394wlbft compared to my 371whp and 388wlbft.
