Count me in guys. Just moved down from Carlisle. Back roads around Keswick are great fun.

Glad you can make it.

Found out the info on the Bristol Meet and hoping to make it myself.

Sorted out the lunch stop,The Sportsman inn.
It is situated just off the A66, has a good car park,and were all seated by the window so a nice veiw over the fells . Booked in around 2.ish for 40+ish hungry people

Great work Custard!

I knew someone would step in and do the organizing

good lad custard!

Excellent work custard - now you just have to sort all of the menus out.

Where's The Sportsman near and is it on the way to Keswick or Penrith?

Guys. Lets get REALLY organised now.

Can we have convoy organisers? I'll take scotland.

Im gonna get Pag to get a full detailed listing of events on the day as he seems to have the best drive plan.

Ross

No problem, I'll stick a detailed plan together at the weekend.

Im a definate but ill book me and mrs pleb into a place and then i can see about being a convoy leader if needed. use old satnav to keep me a light

ooo also thinking could a mini convoy the day after the meet up or are we having 2 meets? one on the day and one the day after?

I'll follow you KP

Don't know if Mrs MABR is going as she's not keen on speed as a passenger.

Hi MABR,
What date are we looking at?

Hiya Dave. As far as I know it's Saturday 14th April.

If you look back through this considerable thread, you'll find the details - somewhere!

Yep 14th April, can we try to keep it in the thread title please

Thanks. Yeah just found it. Are the Yorkshire and Lancs mob meeting up, say Charnock Richard, before heading north?

Dave

Not got a clue - I think KP is organising something for this end - see above.

if you're meeting up at charnock richard i'll be there!

Here's Pag suggested Route on the Map: -
Map So far with Stops, Pag to update I think this weekend!!

Your meeting at the Whoop on Saturday 14th, but what night/nights are you all staying? Friday night before? or the saturday night? As someone suggested you may all be meeting up agian on the Sunday?

I'll definatly make an appearance at the whoop and glad to give directions if anyone gets lost? also will chip in with any suggestions on the routes. I would say you need to allow plenty of time through the lakes as it can get busy traffic wise?
Lived in/around Kendal for 32 years, but have to admit as I live in the lakes dont explore it as much as I should (fell walking? whats that? ), but i'll do what I can to point you in the right direction, Mitch has mentioned the A6 through Shap which is a good road, leads up to the sportsman but this runs parrallel to the kirkstone pass (cant fit both in), you will get a scenic view of the lakes on Pags route

Its arrive at the whoop on satruday, do our stuff, have some drinks some lunch some dinner then stay over and head back the next day!

Ross

I have to say, the ferry can be a very long wait at times, as its a tourist thing rather than a useful service. I think the chance of just turning up and hopping on are extremely slim.

I personally would choose shap road (route in blue). http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f309/mitch20vt/Untitled-1.jpg
Only because the driving will be far better, not as many caravans and a much faster road. But yes the downside is we will see less lakes, any thoughts?

My mate just phoned me about this, so i will bring the 20vt green meenie along for the 14th. Sounds like a really great day out.

Andy.

Hope your gonna behave!

Ross

I always behave Ross. I hope we can shake hands and you will see iam a nice guy.

Andy.

that gets lost quite easily

The sportsman is on the A66, as we come to the end of the A5091 we take a right, its only 1/2 a mile towards penrith on the left. easy to find As for a menu i put us all down for hot pot the chef has got a huge pot
