Cumbrian Run 2012

Captain Scarlet
in North West England

Featured Replies

Well as 2012 has arrived and some need advance notice I thought it best to announce the date.

Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th June 2012.

The meet will consist of driving the best roads in the area as well as camping, good company, food, drink and good times and laughs.

The driving part will be spread over the two days with a late afternoon/evening route on the Saturday and then a morning route on the Sunday. This will allow time for people to travel up on the Saturday, or if you prefer arrive on the Friday night for camping too. Then after the route on Sunday there will be some free time for you and back to the campsite. You can then either make your way home or stay for camping that night where a truely fun evening will take place.

Of course if you prefer not to do both days drives then you're more than welcome to attend just the Saturday or Sunday routes. It's a family friendly weekend on the whole (although camping may not be, judging by last year and humour content of chat room lol) so all are welcome.

A lunch stop will be incorporated into one of the drvies (poss both, will confirm nearer the time), and also my famous stop at a local ice cream farm.

Gatesgarth farm, buttermere, CA13 9XA

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ca13+9xa&hl=en&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=13.626984,43.286133&hnear=Buttermere+CA13+9XA,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=15

the views are FANTASTIC, just hope for nice weather, as its a bit of a bog at the moment, I advise bringing waterproof sheets to go under your tents!

Its a field behind the farm, we can take the cars on, fires allowed if off the grass, gazeebo's allowed, we will probably have the field to ourselves, there is an outside toilet, and hot and cold running water behing the farm, owners name is willy, sons name John

There is NO shop, (It is just a field at the end of the day!) you are advised to bring bog roll, food ect ect..

If showers are needed, there is a campsite up the road that will accomodate as they are 20p for a shower...

Price.. (now hold on, it is the lakes..) £3 per person per night lol..... (thanks to Sharkrider for the info)

Saturday drive - I'm aiming to leave the campsite at 3pm and start the drive heading to Penrith for the ice cream stop. approx 1 hour to get there, allowing a leisurely stop to enjoy the ice cream. Then a further drive to Carlisle for a food stop. This time I decided to stop at a car park which has a chippy, Burger King, chinese and Dominos pizza shops all within sight so people can decide what they'd like. After we're all fed we'll head back to the campsite the scenic way arriving back approx 9pm.

Sunday drive - All being well a relatively early start enjoying some nice roads. I fancy a chat on the Saturday regarding what people want to do for a lunch stop, but maybe just be a case of stoppuing when we see somewhere nice...lol.

So if you're interested place your name down below on both the driving part and the camping.
