m.a.n rules:
https://youtu.be/oQPpfTQqyQk.a brilliant 4 part film … enjoy.
Thanks for sharing this, ‘m.a.n.’! This is a superb documentary about the history of the road over Shap Fell. It’s beautifully made and being a 1984 film, it has none of the inane frenetic background music that ruins all today’s documentaries. You say it is in 4 parts but it is in 11 parts and lasts for just one hour. It makes a very pleasant hour’s viewing if relaxing after lunch on winter’s Friday afternoon!
Perhaps when perusing other threads, we can all copy and paste any of the many Shap pictures, stories and references on this thread to create a potted history. If there’s already a Shap thread, then the link to that can be popped on here and the link to this popped on there (if you see what I mean!). Cheers.
