M6 Lune Valley Run

You are here: Home » Video » M6 Lune Valley Run

The M6 in the Lake District is considered one of the most spectacular motorway journeys in the UK, climbing towards Shap summit amid towering hills. The full run from Kendal to Shap is spectacular from start to finish, but it's a long way! This video runs along the first section, the Lune Valley, from Killington Services to almost junction 38, taking in the fells along the way.

The video was shot in November 2005, with roadworks along the way. Once again, Steven Jukes was at the wheel - many thanks for not getting too distracted by the scenery!
