The road I referred to is the back road up past the cement factory - not the main road.

OK, to make it simple, if you drive up Clintz into Bigrigg, as you enter you will see a pseed activated 40 sign. If you climbed over the fence where that sign is you would be in my garden but then i would have to shoot you!

What 40 sign....?

Captain Scarlet · 05-01-2008, 13:49

Another meet update.

Took a drive on the route earlier to check times etc. All went well.

sharkrider · 05-01-2008, 22:23

Is there one that won't give you the hassle of pre ordering and pre paying? like the red lion on the cat'n'fiddle meet?!

I will happily post you a cheque for £5 but i can't see you being able to sort that from everyone in the next two weeks!

just say "ah, well, too late to sort all that we'll just go somewhere else..." and see what they say? they'd be loosing a hell of alot of money......

hebrew · 05-01-2008, 22:34

Which pub is it that your planning eating at?

Captain Scarlet · 05-01-2008, 22:41

Good points there.

Was planning the Lane End Inn near Brampton.

It's the first time I've tried to book a party of this size. Only other alternative I would think of would a Brewers Farye. I would think we could all just barge in and take a seat. There's one near my house that has loads of tables. I'm sure we could all sit near each other in their conservatory section.

Anyone alse with a comment.

At a rough guess The Lane End Inn? Drat beaten to it

postmanpat · 05-01-2008, 22:49

Will the pub not accomodate us if we just turn up? Or is it limited seating? As Dave says, tell them it is too short notice to collect deposits due to logistics of contacting people in time on a forum, to get cheques in.

Captain Scarlet · 05-01-2008, 22:57

Will check with them tomorrow. But I have another place I'll ring as well and see if they can take us.

This meeting lark can be a pain, but well worth it to meet you all.

hebrew · 05-01-2008, 23:13

Are you wanting to be out Carlisle way for a pub. it'll maybe mess your plans up for a run out, otherwise would it?
The Sportsmans Inn at Troutbeck on the A66 is good scran and would be able to accomodate everyone, i would have thought.

sharkrider · 06-01-2008, 00:44

I have driven past the sportsman a hundred times, but never been in... big carpark, big pub... If the food's good?....

but then, anywhere that'll take us, and seat us together....

edit: worth the effort Ian.... If I didn't think so, I wouldn't try and make the camping trip work

Captain Scarlet · 06-01-2008, 12:23

Aye it's definately worth it. About to hit the phones in a minute and get something sorted. Don't want to be doing it last minute.

sharkrider · 06-01-2008, 12:30

update on the sportsman: swmbo says she knows people who eat there, and the food is good..., dunno if this helps.

mac67 · 06-01-2008, 15:35

Same as Sharkey, driven past loads of times and always wondered what its like but always in too much of a hurry to stop.... lol! And even though there is a stunning backdrop from the car park for photos if its still light by then i'm still sticking to my original suggestion Toby carvery and this is why:

1) It has a big lit carpark out back so you could probably get all the cars in line for a pic.

2) We can all sit together in the pub part and have a chat while we wait to be seated in the restaurant.

3) We will all be sat with some of the group if not all for our meal.

4) When weve finished eating we can all sit together in the pub part again for a drink and chat.

5) When i'm eating my mouth is never empty long enough to talk anyway.... lol.

Did i mention i have shares in the Toby Carvery? LOL!

Captain Scarlet · 06-01-2008, 16:55

Both good views. If he Sportsman could take us we could do more driving, which is always good.

But can make a slightly longer route to the Toby Carvery

Lit car park is a bonus I'll admit.

Which would you prefer chaps.
