GBMUD Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have been thinking about another forum get-together, ideally this October as we have met then before and my birthday is then. Rather than going to Llanerchindda (who's attitude upset me last time), or even Wales, how about a Lake District (and surrounding area) trip? I am open to suggestions, except for camping (I met the wife while camping in the lakes, not about to make that error again!), as to a venue to use as a base... How about the weekend of the 5th ,6th ,7th or the 12th ,13th ,14th? Add your name below and preferred dates and we will see where we go from there.

Guest dew110CSW Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Lake District am definatley in, I'm basically in it. As long as it didn't clash with anything else. Pencil me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Think Chris forgot to add his usual bit I wish to add some disclaimer here... I am only telling you guys that I have booked a short break. I am not planning or organising any group trip away nor am I offering to provide any route or navigation. In short, the buck does not even slow down here, understand? I am not responsible if you get bitten by a sheep, dog or farmer! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'd like to go as well. Possibly in catflap, but otherwise bunk a ride and share costs. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStu Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If my gearbox, steering box and various other box issues are sorted (Which they should be) by then, then I'd also like to come along. Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Birthday laning for me too - put me down for three vehicles please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Depending on the date I could be interested. Might try and blag a spare seat if I can't save up enough pocket money to feed the V8 for 600+ miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If we need a meeting point I'm sure I can put mine up, I'd love to totally p**s the neighbours off with Several muddy Land Rovers. What sort of lanes will we be tackling? I'll have a steering guard by that point but not much else besides BFG Trac Edges and a nuts driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob90 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 anytime for me. I know some great lanes around the lakes also, Grizdale forest little langdale Cartmel fell or even Kirby Stephen way there all plotted on Memory Map for ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Tim is right, I am NOT in charge or responsible. I am happy to choose later dates if it suits more folk. I know that it will not be possible to please everyone so sorry if the final dates do not suit you. Anyone know when half term is? Best to avoid it as hotels will be cheaper and there will be less ramblers etc. about. Anyone local, or who has been there before, know of a place to stay - B+B etc.? My usual criteria are: Landrover friendly, Bar or local pub (walkable), availability of evening meals, less than £30/night B+B. I do not know how many of us there may be but if we could all get in the one place it would be better. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty Local (Kendal, Cumbria/Lancs border) so if you drop me a PM with a rough idea of where you'd like the B+B to be (illiteration? ) I'll do some digging. Cheers, David.

JSG Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sounds like a nice idea. V8 + Lakes = lots of petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Could always bring the TDCi to get it muddy JSG *runs and hides Look at it this way, the members from up my way would use a good amount of Petrol/Diesel/Whatever getting down your way, and you've already had one down wales way.

Mark Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Chris, Half term for Surrey and W. Sussex would be Sat 20th thru to sun 28th. I would guess that it would be a similar time throughout the country... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
