martinmac Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Max is kindly looking after this and has a couple of routes under consideration. How many people are up for this. Bear in mind that its the summer silly season so the central lakes will be very busy. Its an option too use the east of the M6 as this wont be as bad. Comments. There are plenty of other things to do such as this. this http://www.lakesiderailway.co.uk/ connects with this. http://www.windermere-lakecruises.co.uk/ About 15 minutes from the Heaves Hotel.

Wasso Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE Agreed quiet location, nothing to stop us doing a VERY early or VERY late evening drive (Especially as the weather is going to be amazing!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hopefully the drive will take in Kikstone pass or similar. Mark is still sorting option to avoid the worst traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'd be interested if we can avoid traffic. Knowing what the roads are like up there, we will have to avoid the main Lakes as you suggest. I'd also vote for a shortish drive that we can do in the morning otherwise I'll get in trouble for dissapearing all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbowey Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 i'd be up for a little drive like. as long as it's not just a sit in a traffic jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Depending on the weather I think the mrs and I might go on one of the lake cruises... but I will try and squeeze a wee drive in defo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Chris, not the best example but you get my drift. Early mornings or late evenings would be superb, minimal traffic then!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Chris, not the best example but you get my drift. Its not that I'll get in trouble, its more what she'll spend while I'm away. Wales was not a cheap trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Could have more than one drive, I know a good place for tea and biccies for a few intrepid souls... Also, if their is any interest in a wee MTB ride one afternoon, that could be arranged. Either BYO or hiring is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'd be aiming for a drive at some point but am easy when - cos we're there for the week with Polly & Athol so we'll be doing sight seeing other days. An evening drive is out on the Friday because folks will be arriving - Saturday evening most will be and Sunday most will be heading away I think an early morning drive the Saturday morning may be best - as hardly anyone will be legal to drive early Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
