    Meet a Bothwell Services, pit stop at Southwaite.

    Yeah, if we can't get in overnight, then it kinda defeats the going down early part.... Leaving the cars outside in Liverpool is not my idea of fun! Lol

    Will see what happens

    Craig, put us down. Where we can leave the cars overnight would influence what hotel we use. If we drive down early on the day of the show (Saturday), I'm assuming we would stop overnight on the Saturday and drive back up on the Sunday? Leasurely drive over the Kirkstone Pass? Does that make sense?

    Yeah I know what your saying, I've maybe confused the issue...

    The show is on the Sunday, the plan at the moment is to drive down on the Saturday, stay over as it's a fairly early start to get the cars in to the show venue. It would seem now that we will need to clean the cars first thing on the Sunday morning, or clean them on the Saturday and find an inside car park to keep them dry and clean...

    The other option (not ideal) is to leave v early on Sunday morning and get down, clean cars then into show ...

    Happy to discuss. As I said on the main thread, the nearest and cheaper hotels are sold out, but that all depends if you want to go to the meal on the Sat night with Mikey and the team (we went last year and it was a good laugh)
