Can easily have this one and another in Januaryish. Can easily plan 2 routes, although the best roads are in the lakes, but shoud manage a good one.

The only roads in the lakes, I know of, are in Mardale under Haweswater....

Yes it is near Barrons Caravans. About 2 miles further north. If you come across on the A69 you will come to Low Hesket first. If your coming on the A66 you'll pass Barrons Caravans first, and Low Hesket is the next village on the A6.

Hope this helps.

smog monster · 16-11-2007, 08:43

Yep , i know where it is now ,

l,ll be coming from A66 / Penrith

Yeah, but SWMBO can't afford to get me a Ferrari body kit..... lol

Captain Scarlet · 17-11-2007, 12:04

Had a quick drive round this morning, the roads I have in mind seem ok. If you all want to go for a drive.

Captain Scarlet · 18-11-2007, 11:51

Yes the meet will be child friendly. Everyone welcome, as we're all just big children anyway..

No problem with having a drink first, and something to eat first, if your hungry after your journey.

Have a route which loops back around some local villages and ending around Penrith. I thought this would be handy for you guys heading back east or south. Roughly timed drive around 1 hour if thats alright with you guys and hopefully a photo opportunity on route.

smog monster · 20-11-2007, 11:30

No problems at all

Captain Scarlet · 20-11-2007, 21:34

If any of you require any contact numbers just give me a shout. Lets hope the rain goes away for Saturday.

mac67 · 21-11-2007, 07:11

Looks like Saturday is going to be the rainiest day in the world ...... ever. Soz pal

Weather looking good tonight. Any more takers.

mac67 · 23-11-2007, 22:25

Good luck with your 1st meet pal and remember to ask them to let you catch up every mile or so!

Captain Scarlet · 23-11-2007, 22:44

Cheers mate. Washed car today after work so she's looking beautiful again.

Will probably remain like that for a day.

Already planning ideas for a meet in Januaryish which should see more attendees. Though I'm thinking of banning black Fabia's.

Mike Wrightson · 23-11-2007, 23:53

I have to wait until tommorrow morning to wash mine, won't have time to polish

, can do that on monday instead

If Dad turns up with the Roomster, be nice and don't laugh at it too much

Camera batteries charging as I type.

Captain Scarlet · 24-11-2007, 00:09

I'll check mine in the morning, to see if I've washed it properly.

Mine does need a polish, but will have to wait for now. See you tomorrow guys.
