Been looking at the route again, so how does this sound?
Whoop Hall to Windermere (A65 --> A590 --> A5074) [23 miles]
Windermere to Kirstone Pass Inn (A592) [7 miles]
Kirkstone Pass to Keswick (A592 --> A5091 --> A66) [23 miles]
Keswick to Ambleside (A591) [17 miles]
Ambleside to Windermere car ferry via Hawkshead (B5286 --> B5285) [11 miles]
Windermere to Whoop Hall (A5074 --> A590 --> A65) [23miles]
Total of 104 miles, which would probably be between 2 to 3 hours driving depending on how busy the roads were.
What's everyones thoughts about stopping off for lunch along the way and possibly going to the Cars of the Stars Museum in Keswick, (not sure how easy it would be for everyone to get parked up in Keswick though?)
Mitch/Stan/Redline - You Cumbrian boys got any recommendations for a decent place to stop off for lunch?
Could the Kirkstone Pass Inn cater for everyone?
I know there's a few places as you go through Patterdale and Glenridding and there's also a decent looking pub as you pass through Dockray - any suggestions?

Its the Royal hotel at dockray not sure 20 cars 40+people would fit? same prob at the troutbeck inn a few miles further just as we get to the A66.1/2 mile towards Penrith is the Sportsman???. Its a bit bigger but might be busyer, iv heard of other car clubs meeting here in the past.Or,,, there is two pubs in Threlkeled,A66 just before Keswick?.The Salutation an Horse n farrier, they are 100yrds appart with enough parking? They are all on route so i could drive ahead(depending on traffic)an find out if its poss to squezze us in?. Iv`e heard the ferry only holds about 4/5 cars so might take a while. Cars of the stars is good to see, i think it has some new additions since i was last in like the green mitsubishi from f&f also KITT, bonds DB5 etc.

Kirkstone Pass - is that the one with passing places and a 1:3 gradient If it is then not sure my handbreak is currently up to the task. Going to replace my cable shortly but doubt if it's going to make much difference...... Not sure why you need the handbrake? Great little road over kirkstone pass, Dont worry the car park at the inn is on the level! No need for passing places as its dual road all the way!! Last time I was up there I had the pleasure of blasting past a large convoy of mini coopers on the bike! I guess a car club meet somewhere nearby, I could tell some were trying to challenge but with very little overtaking opportunities for cars they had to grin and bear the slow moving traffic

What happened to the ferry idea? It's in the route Ross. The ferry holds 18 cars, so shouldn't be too much of a wait, and it's £2.50 per car. car ferry pic

ross Ye sure,il see if i can sort something out asap. I`m thinkin around 40 people What time are we thinking Well, plan is to leave Whoop Hall at 12:00 and I guess it should take about 1 hour to get up to the Kirkstone Pass Inn, and then around another 45mins to get to Keswick? So depending on where you could find to fit us all in, I guess we're going to get there around 1:30 ish. Might be safest to say 2pm for food, just in case they're any delays along the way.

I'd have thought the Yorks mob will have to rv approx 1015hrs at Guiseley and should get to the Hall for about 1145hrs for mingle and chat. Nearer the time we can post a quick headcount for Guiseley to make sure we don't leave without anyone.
