Well, I tried and failed. 
Trying to go back to Eskdale C&CC after a visit to Brockhole, gave way to a car at the base before the really steep zig zag section, could not get up, started to roll back with the aim to turn back, and rolled into a ditch instead. 
Luckily, there were kind passer-bys who stopped to push me out of the ditch so that I could turn back and pick up another route towards Broughton.
Miraculously, the car does not appear to be damaged, so something up there was definitely looking after me, phew!!!
It could have been a lot worse if I were to get stuck in the zig zag section and roll down a steep edge!!! Still shaking just thinking about it.
   
Off to eat, drink and calm myself down.

Oh dear, no damage done though which is good. At least you gave it a try. To be fair though the other driver should have given way to you if you were going up hill, so it's all their fault
