  1. Thanks for the comments guys and the pms. I am still convinced that a Lakes drive out is impossible due to the traffic. Stick to Wales for that. If however anyone wants to pop up I am more than happy to sort hotels/pubs etc and act as tour guide. I am off for just over half the year so that gives you plenty to shoot at. There are aslo some great events to tie into a weekend here. Be aware though for things like Cartmel races early booking is essential. Will post a few links with major events which may be of interest. Cartmel races (National Hunt) is a great day out. Unlike other races you take your car into the middle of the track and picnic/party all day. Its in a fantastic setting too. Book accom three months in advance though. http://www.cartmel-racecourse.co.uk/ There is also a big steam gathering once a year. Watch the cider, its lethal http://www.steamgathering.org.uk/ The Holker garden festival is worth a visit. http://www.holker-hall.co.uk/HolkerFestivalTickets4.asp And Holker hall also has a motor museum. And for anyone who wants to pop up for some scenic photography, happy to show you the good spots. http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe ... d/Cumbria/ And for Stanski, there is a good dealer just down the road
  2. we have one but there are issues with she. if I grit I can be sued if there is a crash. tupid but true. sorry in car typing
  3. Its only 1 deg C and the road is sheltered and icy so we have an agreement that anyone washing cars on the road will be lynched. Gritting truck normally gets to us about June. Off to my mothers to wash it, dont know her neighbours that well
  4. I took those just for you! I knew I'd be in trouble if I didn't. It was the first time I'd seen one in person and I must say I was very impressed. Very unique. How many calendars for you to send me one over bud
