If only it was held on by velcro, instead of mastic & bolts, then I'd take it off now and have a makeshift 'targa' for the weekend.

But knowing my luck, it's piss down and my roof would still be in Liverpool.

On the positive side, at least I won't hold anyone up by stopping every couple of hours to put the roof up, roof down, roof up, roof down

Hopefully it just needs a re-gas from sitting around all the time - as it was fine when it was used as a daily driver, and never needed a re-gas in 10 years/140,000 miles.

Nooooooo !

Still think of the National as a 48hr rapid weight loss program

Evening all.

Slight change to plan after a pita working week - so will hopefully join you on Sunday rather than Saturday.

I’ll look through thread for start time Sunday, but will probably be there early and wake some of you up with the sports exhaust

Can Everyone please have a FULL TANK OF PETROL BEFORE THE START TIME OF 9.30a.m,as we go places where fuel may not be readily available...and we don't stop for fuel during the day.
There is a petrol station just two minutes from the Hotel & Campsite,but sadly no longer has Super unleaded...so those who,like myself,need Super,you have a 10minute drive to Kendal,where there is a Shell with Super.
Cheers, see you soon.

Thanks for yesterday Craig and John (also Andy

) Morgan and I really enjoyed it. Great to drive roads I know very well (and one or two not so well) but with a different start point and running order it made them feel fresh and almost new.

But ye gods it was hot !

Hope you all have a great day today

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

Some Great photos folks,look forward to seeing some more.

Also,Sean(aka bigotsean) needs to get the Drone footage posted up on here,be great to see.
Make sure you bring it when you come back next year...and don't leave it 5 years between meets,haha.

Good luck with your wedding next year,folks

All the best.(and thanks for the window cleaner on Sunday morning

)
