martinmac Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, its getting to be stupid nowadays. I have seen the figures and it just doesnt make sense. I gueass I will just have to do the bar and catering next year. I even tried to buy the pub but the brewery wouldnt sell it. Quote
martinmac Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 A little update on Toyah. She has agreed to do the "Up close and personal" format. So as well as the music there will be a powerpoint presentation during the show with lots of anecdotes. Starting to sort out sound and lighting equipment now. All good fun. Quote
flyboy Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Sounds great Mart. Flygirl and I will be walking in the mountains again on the Sat instead of the drive out, as its the only way i can get her there. Any seasoned walkers are welcome to join us but it will involve a stiff climb or two, maybe a small scramble and experience in the hills and wet weather gear will be necessary. If anyone is interested I will be able to sort out a route in advance. Quote
Pritchard Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Is there an attendance list for this? subscribing to thread. Quote

MrsNiki Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 At present i am due to be off work for this, and would plan to come up saturday morning and camp, leaving sunday afternoon/evening.... however work situation is a bit volatile at the moment, redundancies and rota changes due from 22nd June onwards, so i may or may not be able to make it! Gonna stick my name down and hope for the best!! MrNiki is working, so it'll just be me i think Niki Quote

flyboy Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Bit of a trip round to striding and I was on top of Helvellyn on Christmas day, Will probably be around Coniston somewhere as its on the right side for a shorter drive/longer walk. Dow Craig, Swirl how. Wetherlam, the man himself, etc depending on forecast Quote
martinmac Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Another reminder for thos wishing to eat at the pub. Book a table. They will be very busy anyway and the bands and crew will also be eating. Quote

Lexx Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 There should still be camping space (we work on a first come first served basis for camping (except for staff). Some B&Bs may have space. You could try The Engine Inn. They had a room a few weeks back, but not sure now. Quote
martinmac Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 There is now a room at eabank lodge free. Minimum Fri. Sat. Sun. 180 quid. Quote

Mr P Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks for filling me in guys. Hopefully the weather will be nice and can tie it in with a trip to grasmere. If anything like last year, this will be one of best events of the year. Fingers crossed for good weather í ½í¸Ž Quote
Pritchard Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 hahahaha. you wont believe who is in Skipton on sunday for work looks like i'll be able to say hello on sunday. woop. it might sound like a long way away (skipton) but when you're from kent and the Lakes are 5hrs away.... its actually now really close. Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 If you make it by 1030 on Sunday do the races. Warning though, race traffic stuffs the roads. Quote
martinmac Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 First post updated. The food on Saturday will be a BBQ which will continue during the evening while there is a demand. Also please note that Cartmel becomes a car park whilst the race traffic is getting to and from the course. The usual journey of 10 minutes from the A590 can take over an hour. This will be from 1000 to 1200 and 1730 to 1830 on the Friday and Sunday. Quote
Irn Bru Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Is there any nearby showering options for the campers ? Quote
martinmac Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Unfortunately not. Two options really. Either come to an arrangement with someone self catering or use one of the local camp sites. If the latter have a chat to flyboy who uses them. Quote
martinmac Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 The washrooms are open all the time. I normally let people use my house but it will be a little crowded this year. The backstage area will be off limits from about 1500 Saturday. Quote
