martinmac Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share 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.

flyboy Posted April 25, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna stick my name down and hope for the best!! MrNiki is working, so it'll just be me i think Niki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the situation all hotels probably booked up? Is there camping spots still free? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted May 17, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 If you make it by 1030 on Sunday do the races. Warning though, race traffic stuffs the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irn Bru Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Is there any nearby showering options for the campers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
