I was over in the Lakes yesterday on my bike. All along the side of Ulswater and Kisrkstone pass were heaving, Alston and Hartside were ok though :evil: .



Are you going to come along mate,for some of the weekend at least,be a shame if not :thumbsup:

Thankfully we're avoiding The Lakes itself,as traffic will be heaving,as is current affairs.
Hopefully we avoid too much,where we are going,fingers crossed :driving:

Sadly I can’t see it happening for us this year. I’d hoped to get a job during the summer like I did last year but they are very thin on the ground at the moment, the upshot being a distinct lack of money. That’ll teach me to blow my student loan on pointless stuff like food :P . On the up side all those jobs round the house I’ve been putting off are getting done now.

Hope you guys have a great time, looks like your going to get the weather again this year.

Sorry you can't make it,Laine. You will be missed,as others will agree I'm sure.
Hopefully see you next year mate

Two sleeps to go - its like Christmas, cannot wait :oops:

Yeah,can't believe its come up so fast...and that this is the first meet I've done or been on this year,given there were several planned from March.
Roll on Friday,and let's hope weather and roads/traffic is good to us :D :driving:
 
Camping gear is all in the boot ready. Just to throw in food, beer and clothes in the morning and will be ready to hit the road.
Can’t wait. :driving:
 
Usually I do intro sheets,but not this time.
Although John has done a Route guide,with postcodes on it if anyone gets Lost.

So, some info for the meet
.....due to lack of open toilets on our Saturday drive, we are doing a slightly different route,and ,while there will be somewhere to get some food for Lunch, If anyone wants to bring snacks,juice,etc or even a Sandwich with them for Saturday(or Sunday),then feel free.
We will get somewhere, to eat or have something for Lunch on Saturday, either in Crioklands Or possibly in Kendal.

On Sunday,we are in a town with a few open options for lunch,do no worries there

On Both days Drives, try your best to keep sight of the car in Front of you,and the Car Behind you,if Possible,and it's Safe,at Lights/Junctions etc.
Although this isn't a Necessity,as the Route guides we handout will have info if designated Stops,where we can Rendezvous there,if need be.
We will try our best to keep the group together ☺️

ONLY DRIVE AS FAST AS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH,AND DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO KEEP UP WITH FASTER CARS IN FRONT OF YOU,As we can meet at the allocated Stops :thumbsup:

On the Drives, No Overtaking other cars in Our Group, Unless invited to do so,and it's Safe to do so(Likewise with other Cars/Traffic,only when safe)
Likewise,if someone obviously wants by,let them But ONLY WHEN SAFE TO DO DO SND USE YOUR OWN common sense on this, Thanks.

Observe speed limits through Towns/built up areas,etc and we should be fine.


On Saturday,we expect some traffic,And it tends to be more of a Relaxed / Scenic Drive.

On Sunday,it's normally more Driver focussed/Spirited,and hopefully the Traffic will be kind to us,given ongoing Pandemic.

Look forward to seeing you all soon,and hope we all have a good weekend. :driving: :thumbsup:
 
Another wee update.....lol

Check in time at Hotel is from 2pm Onwards.

Campsite is whenever you want :D

Had a call from the Campsite yesterday,and Unfortunately the Bar is going to still be closed,due to them not being allowed,due to social distance restrictions....so for our BBQ,we will have to get some drink from the Supermarket 10mins drive away :thumbsup:

BBQ will be there on Saturday night.

Also,can you bring Change/coins for some of the w.c's we go to you need 30p :P
Cheers,and see you soon :driving:
 
Heading off shortly, to have a leisurely drive up via the Forest of Bowland and Dales to see how the lardy 330D Touring on all-seasons handles the bends :driving:

See you all later :thumbsup:

BTW, for anyone heading north on the M6 or M61, the areas around Leyland/Preston are looking poor.
 
Just an update,we are meeting at 9.30 on both Saturday and Sunday mornings, rather than 9am.
Meet to go through routes,etc and head off by 10am Both Days.

Weather here us very lovely 24/25c :thumbsup:

Just got back home to North London.......took 7.5 hrs instead of the normal 5, thanks to M6 roadworks and accident and then accident on the final stretch of the M25. :headbang:

Had a fantastic weekend as always thanks to Craig and Johns organising proving that post lockdown meets can be done safely. :thumbsup:
Great meeting up with everyone again and meeting some new members. I'm sure it's given the wellbeing of everyone who attended a lift during these strange times.
Thanks again Craig/John for allowing me to tag along at the rear in the Jag although I did stray into the middle of the pack acouple of times. :whistle:
Didn't take many pics this year but here's a few.
Can't wait til' next year. Cheers everyone. :driving:
