Hi all,
After a TERRIBLE 2nd half of 2007 with 2 moving discs in the back, followed by damage to the nerve compressed by it, I (and Mrs Beems) feel in the mood for organising a little excursion for a select few (anyone!! ) GSers to a lovely corner of Cumbria.
This will be in the spring, but we am starting now with the programme to give me time to make plans.
Friday eve or Saturday morning depending on choice, meet up in Keswick for the convenience of any more distant travellers. Ride out to the camp site at Eskdale:

Here we have all the facilities required plus a good pub a short walk away for a good meal at reserved tables on Saturday night.
On the Saturday we can hitch a ride on the famous 'laal ratty' , laal being Cumbrian for little.

It's a narrow gauge steam railway travelling down the valley through lovely scenery. Also plenty of walks and a superb range of rides from the site, either on your own or we can organise a group ride. Hardknott and Wrynose passes are within a few miles.
Finishing on Sunday with a trip to Grange over Sands and Humphrey Head for a ride on the beach. Then easy access to the M6 and Devils Bridge Direction.
Dates to be organised, but will be in the spring when its good weather here. Anyone interested please PM us to go on a 'interested parties' list.
Cheers !!!!!!!!
