Had a great weekend folks.
Thanks to everyone for coming,and glad everyone seems to have enjoyed it
We had the perfect weather ,mainly traffic free roads and good company
Saturday was a nice change from the Busier Lakes itself,and I am just glad we didn't meet any minibuses or coaches on parts of the route,as it might have been "interesting",lol
Was a nice drive,and one me and John have already discussed doing again in the future.
While the whole weekend was superb,
The Sunday drive for me was epic,with the usual roads ,to Hawes,Alston etc etc all very good indeed and don't ever disappoint,as well as the Hartside pass,which we have never had so clear and free of traffic/walkers/cyclists.....one obvious "benefit" of the Hartside cafe no longer being there I guess.
Had a great drive down it,with Brian (the only one following me for a wee while)
Also,the last stretch of the day from Shap all the way back to the Hotel was awesome,and just glorious weather,epic roads and no traffic
Apologies for me not being more detailed with the route info for that last stretch....no one had taken a wrong turn all weekend (thanks Laine and Nicola for keeping me right once or twice,when I went to turn too early,haha),but unfortunately 3 cars went up the M6 instead.
I will have more detailed info next time folks.
I am also glad Laine didn't sell his car,as it meant he enjoyed the Sunday run with us as well
Sorry you are having to sell it though. As a few of us said,we expect to see you at the next one,regardless what you are driving,even if it's Nicola's Golf
Thanks again for coming everyone,and I will get working on next year's,10th Anniversary National meet soon
