Just spotted this big meet!!
Coupe long gone °\( .. but will do my best to pop along to see the big line up of coupes..

The Whoop is a nice spot, wont need to stop as I only live 10 minutes up the road and pass it twice a day on the way to work \:D ....
Just be careful as 300 yards before the Whoop as you leave Kirkby lonsdale (devils Bridge) they have just put up two sets of speed cameras within 50 yards of each other \:mad\: .. its within a 40 limit but on long straights so you soon creep above 40!

Devils Bridge (300 yards from whoop) is a big well known meeting place for bikers, saturday should have a few but the Sunday should be heaving, especially if the weathers hot n sunny! parking on one side of the bridge is for bikes only on the sunday? so if your a keen biker also worth a walk down on the sunday? A busy spot during the summer for picnics and swimming...
Heres just a couple of pics i could find: -
Usual Busy biking day
The Bridge on second photo

Kirkstone pass as mentioned is a great road, stop for a cuppa at the 'kirkstone pass inn' along your way!!
Kirstone pass inn when its not a foot deep in snow!!

You wont be stuck for good raods, and this time of year shouldnt be too busy with tourists!
Windermere will be about an hours run from the whoop (traffic dependant) Kirkstone pass only few minutes out of windermere, from there a good run would be to head up along ullswater to pooley bridge, it all depends how much driving you all want to do? from pooley bridge you can blast back down the M6 (Not that I would touch the motorways) back to the whoop if your running out of time? or head west along into Keswick and back round the lakes, or east along the A686 to Alston, middleton on teesdale, Brough, sedbergh, and back to kirkby lonsdlale (Whoop). You would rake up a few miles of good driving roads!

The Whoop may be a few quid but has the leisure complex, restaurant etc with plenty of space for meeting up in the bar?
The link to the travel lodge above is the far side of lancaster? a good hours run from the whoop or the lakes?? Plus its on the M6?? not a great meeting point plus will have no bar?? You would be better staying closer to kendal as the group from the whoop will travel thru Kendal on there way to the lakes!!
Heres the Whoops website (may have already been posted)

Kirkby Lonsdale is walking Distance from the Whoop with plenty of nice B&B's?
Heres a couple: -
Sun Inn
The Orange Tree (very good food - especially if your into steak!!)
Wyck House

Sorry if list is a bit late, but at least you would be in walking distance of the whoop? Kirkby Lonsdale is a very nice town, an old Market town with a good variety of shops and cafes etc? Plenty of Photo opportunities ;)...

Er yes, it seems it isnt actually that close to Lancaster \:\(
I should have checked, I thought it was the one just off the Lancaster junction. Well cant argue with £15 for a room though but sorry Ross

Edit 40mins drive I would say

Yes Its around 15 miles on the M6, then approx another 10-15 miles on A/B roads depending which way you go?
Either Off at Lancaster (J34) and take the A683 thru Caton, Claughton, Hornby, Melling.
Or off at Carnforth (J35) and take the B6254 through over Kellet, Arkholme, Whittigton.

Half hour if you know where your going :D....
