ph 7 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I'm currently trying to fit the biggest tent I have into the car. Our small tent is just too tiny for 3 days stay so instead it will have to be the bigger one. never had it in the 350z before and couldn't get it in at first in its normal form Last night I took out the vertical tonneau cover and it fits in undone lenghtways with the middle piece under the strut. There should be a seperate award for who can transport the most impractical camping gear in a zed. To say I'm looking forward to this meet is an understatment! Quote
martinmac Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Thats why I always bring a support car but I should be ok this time. Quote
john180 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I have no idea how i am going to get everything in my zed. I am used to an astra or a bigger MG ZS saloon which i can get loads in. i suppose after a bit of i will get it all in.......time will tell! ha! Quote
Lexx Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Pack things in and around the spare wheel under the boot tray. It's amazing what you can fit in there. Quote
Stutopia Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Just up the road as I'm from the Nortth West- any one thought about tackling the Hardknott Wrynose Pass in a Z?? Only problem is getting the mountain bike in the 'boot'. That's crazy talk! Although the Zed will eat the pass up for fun, in my previous drives over it's the tourists towing runaway caravans with 1.4 litre petrol Astras that scared me, and I've ridden the Bolivian death road three times!!! Good luck... Quote
martinmac Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 I believe the village is filling up nicely with zeds judging by the feedback from the local hostelries. ( any excuse for a pub crawl. ) If anyone need recommendations let me know. There is still plenty of room for camping. Quote
Chris`I Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Good that we can help the local economy! Are you going to arrange some tankers of fuel? We could get some group buy discount Quote
AK350Z Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Good that we can help the local economy! Are you going to arrange some tankers of fuel? We could get some group buy discount It's ok, there's a Shell down the road at Ulverston! Quote
Bergwerk06 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Any Z drivers who are Mountain Bikers and can make 2 trips in a month have a look at http://samhoughtonchallenge.co.uk/ Well worth it for the 'charidee' but remember that it starts and finishes at the Hawkshead Brewery (in Staveley not Hawkshead) Quote
martinmac Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 We are having a mini meet at the pub on Saturday 12th April from noon if anyone wants to come along and check it out. http://rosecrowncarkincartmel.robinsonsbrewery.com/our-pub Quote
mattbowey Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I will be there, gonna head down after work on the Saturday. LakeZ that is. The mini meet above I doubt I will make. Quote
martinmac Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Yes mate, same venue about noon. And for Matt, there are teeny speed bumps when entering the village hall car park so I will save you a place on the car park at the pub. Quote
Bergwerk06 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Might be worth getting your tyres fitted at Camskill whilst you're there- cheap and just up the coast in NW Cumbria- i believe free fitting if you turn up. PS I don't work there but their R888s are the cheapest i've found. Quote
martinmac Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 I think my local garage can beat theirn prices if anyone neds tyres. Only open on Friday though. Quote
martinmac Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 If anyone attending wants to order any forum merchandise let me know and you will save on postage. Remember, you can have your forum name added for a few extra pounds. Quote
martinmac Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Just so you dont go to the wrong place. Quote
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Although you wont see it from that angle as you approach Quote
martinmac Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Thats taken from my lounge window. There will be an 8 ft x 2 ft banner on the front of the pub so you wont miss that. Quote
martinmac Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 I have sorted a power source for you btw. Quote
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I have sorted a power source for you btw. Cool, thanks Martin Quote
martinmac Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 A few people have been asking about accomodation so I will post up some self catering options that are available for 3 day booking from the Friday. Not a bad option for groups wishing to share. http://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/Lake-District-Cumbria-The-Lake-District/1-Cark-Manor-Stables-11772.html#formatDate=1&npropertyid=11772&showNewCalendar=&tdate=01-Jun-2013&nduration=3&selectedDayOfWeek=6 http://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/Lake-District-Cumbria-The-Lake-District/2-Cark-House-16331.html#formatDate=1&npropertyid=16331&showNewCalendar=&tdate=01-Jun-2013&nduration=3&selectedDayOfWeek=6 http://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/Lake-District-Cumbria-The-Lake-District/Herdwick-Cottage-15023.html#formatDate=1&npropertyid=15023&showNewCalendar=&tdate=01-Jun-2013&nduration=3&selectedDayOfWeek=6 http://www.old-bank-house.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=26 Quote
