spring 2012 lake district meet
anyone fancy a run up to the lakes early next year,around march time? i live on the a6 between j35 and j36 m6 so could easily meet up with the PASA
guys. there is a market square with various shops and a couple of pubs and a burger van in the village where i live,so could be an ideal meetings
place! only a few miles to a591 lakes road,which is pretty nice to say the least.
routes can be planned anytime and all suggestions welcome.

i'm already in the lakes, ambleside.
if you do plan on coming out this way i would suggest a very early start to dodge the traffic.

Sounds good. How about a Lakes Tour with stopping points but taking in some of the sites and sounds, Hardnot Pass, Wrynose Pass, Honister, The
Struggle out of Ambleside, Ambleside to Keswick road via Haweswater, A66 from Cockermouth to Penrith, Whinlatter Pass and the Visitor Centre to name a
few. Ime up for it.

We will be about but I doubt if jeep could keep up with all these pokey locosts
If any "real men" (should read real foolish men) are interested in camping a friend runs a small and cheap campsite at Hesket Newmarket
within walking distance of the Old Crown Inn famous for its beer made in the brewery round the back, owned by coop of interested villagers. Some
cracking roads round here too- Mungrisdale, Sandale Bank etc which make a good alternative route on way back. In the event of any mechanical disasters
we might be able to assist too.

I'm up for it as long as I can be bothered to get the winter jobs done.. started today with the cosmetic upgrades to scuttle and dash.
Need to get underneath as the sump is goosed just now
This may give me a date to finish it and I'll come along as long as theres no salt on the roads!

this sounds good - id like to go depending on dates due to work etc - tour sounds good long distance is best - stop offs for food etc. route map, as
an advisor, nothing formal - just suggestions with a definite start and finish point and a defo lunch stop to meet up half way. leaves it open for
peeps to come and go as they need.
maybe a sat nav route worked out available to download, or an autoroute map.
pencil me in
