May - Lakeland Run, moved to Nov; see other thread

[The Dogfather]

Anyone fancy a run around the Lake District? It will include a over night stop near a Jennings Pub. I'll be down south next year and I know the roads better than most.

I'll even hire a MINI for the Day :)

Any interest please post below :D

[The Dogfather]

I'll post up some dates in and we'll have a vote. I need to decide on a route as well, expect Hard Knot and Honister Pass to be in there though.

[GP 1536]

If you don't mind you can pencil me it.All depends on date though

[The Dogfather]

Right guy's I was thinking the weekend of 19th/20th May as the Bank Holiday weekend will be mobbed, any problems with that????

[zimbo]

Can you please put me down as a maybe for this run VB. Just not sure if I'll still have my car by then or not etc.

[Craig]

at this moment in time, the date seems OK, but our shifts are not that far ahead, so put as a maybe.

ta :D

[The Dogfather]

Can a kind mod make this a sticky?

[stoney]

any more details on this is it going 2 happen where are e staying ?

[The Dogfather]

More details to follow this weekend, I'm unlikely to hire a MINI but the Smart will certainly be able to set a decent pace even for the JCWs.

well u can only try :p;)

[The Dogfather]

I'll be having a look around tomorrow, weather permitting.

I'm hoping to put together a run which takes in the majority of the high passes including Wrynose and Hard Knot. There will be an overnighter on the Saturday probably in a Travel Inn or a cheaper hotel.

[The Dogfather]

Not so sure this is such a good idea, I've been to the lakes the past couple of weekends and the roads have been silly busy. Most of the driving has been at 30mph or less, very frustrating.

I'm going to put this idea on hold.

[Craig]

no bother Paul, thanks for the info, we would probably have to cancel anyway, too many things on during this time and also looks like I may be taking on the Air Bases Run and all that that entails. :D

[sedgie]

The roads in "The Lakes" are brill....but yes loads o slow b*ggers!

[The Dogfather]

I think the borders are probably a better bet; someone's already beaten me to those road though :)

[scottymc]

To be honest I think the best time for a lake land rallye is in Oct-Nov or Jan-Feb. Soon as the weather starts to brighten up, all the roads are heavin. if you have a look on www.mivec.co.uk (a local fto site to this area) its has got writeup's and photo's of what they did in the lakes.

[The Dogfather]

October's good as the scenery's fantastic at that time of year, perhaps a postponment might be a better idea :question:

[Gismo]

This forum is almost full of stickies :p is this run on or not :question:

[The Dogfather]

Alan, give us chance man ;)

I'm checking for dates in October

[The Dogfather]

Run moved to November can a mod please lock this thread and unsticky;
