martinmac Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 True, think I could have worded it better so.... As one of our attendees can no longer make it there is a double ensuite room available in our village pub for £20. Please note this is room only deal with anyone wishing it having to supply their own second person. Landlord is a good friend so the rate does not reflect the accom which is fine. That looks a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 About 14 years, always planned to visit sometime though. But seriously About an hour and a half to 2 hours, Liz drives to Chester regularily and allows 2 during the week. If it helps, we are 15 mins from the M6. Its 120 miles from Wrexham to me.

xStric9x Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 We will probably travel fairly early and linger round like a bad smell for a couple of hours, also need to find out who is traveling from the north Wales area so maybe we could go up in convoy!

martinmac Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Was just thinking the same bud, it has become rather spread out, gis a few minutes and I will post a summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 The meet is on Sunday 16th September. Meeting up at Holker Hall which has a cafe, Motor museum and massive car park. Very nice setting too. http://www.holker-hall.co.uk/ Some people are staying the night before, others arriving from mid morning. I will be around from about 7 pm on the Saturday. The local pub does a carvery from 12 noon until 7pm. Its about half a mile away with good outdoor seating. Suggest we get out fro a drive early afternoon. Max has driven a suitable route, it will be going up the A6 from M6 junction 36 to Penrith B5305 to Caldbeck along A595 back on the A66 on to the B5292 Honister pass to Keswick then A591 to Windermere and on to Kendal. It will include http://www.kirkstonepassinn.com/ ;http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/nw/nw_forecast_weather.html For those who believe the forecast it is looking pretty good For those who wish to stay, my local pub has two rooms which the landlord has kindly offered me for £20 per night. I am waiting for Matt to confirm on one, the other is free. Its a great pub but closes when the locals have had enough Anyone wants the second room pm me. http://www.eeabanklodge.co.uk/ is close and a nice guest house. May have a room left. http://www.masonsarmsstrawberrybank.co.uk/default.asp is a fantastic pub with very nice accommodation. Its about 5 miles from the meet. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/revie ... revid=4803 For the hardy outdoor types. If anyone is staying several miles away from the meet I am happy to pick up for a few beers at the Rose and Crown, Cark in Cartmel (LA11 7PF) on the Saturday night. Can arrange taxis back to save driving. Should anyone having any special accom requirements ( which are legal) pm me. We have a lot of hotels up to Michelin star if needed. My mobile number is 07932004259. I will be in Spain until the Saturday evening but have phone/blackberry with me. Any other questions, you know where I am. Any other takers amongst the new members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
