Talking Anyone with a MH living in or travelling through Cumbria?

In my search for our MH, it would help if I could catch up with another MH owner living in or travelling through Cumbria.

Apart from having a generally chat about MHs, I would love to know what size of MH could get up my drive (we live on a single track lane and the turn onto our drive is a bit tight because of hedges). I've tried to measure the turn and I guess the max lenght of MH we could have is about 20' (ish) but would love to know if something longer could make the turn.

Anyone want to drop in with their MH and have a cup of tea? We are near Penrith (J40/41, M6).

Cheers

yes jim i think its made for cumbia there is another for gloucester and i think there was one for somewhere else or only a colour change.
its not funny really glad i,m not there . quite frightening . was at tagazoute 11-12 years ago when the bridge in bannana village got took away couldnt go anywhere . three days and the military built a temporary one .
they were building a new one last winter and lost alot of equipment when we had a storm .loads of gear washed out to sea .we were stuck up in the hills for 4 days couldnt move.
