I can open it, I've saved it into a pdf, don't know if it helps:confused:

Cheers m8..i could open that one...it's a nice route..:thumb:thumb:)

Cheers Bazza..
we have more than my opition now thanks to you

we can put them in the pot so to speak and go from there...anyway it's up to Squid now...

come on you guys, you know camping is the way forward,:D its going to be a great weekend:thumb:thumb
 
Folks can you please add your details here

I've spoken again to the booking folks at the NT site and they are backing off from a larger group. Had a long chat but they are firm they do not want 'groups' of more than four camping.

I explained it would be middle aged couples not hoolies and we would be arriving separately but they are saying due to anti-social behaviour this policy was introduced in the last year.

The blurb in the website simply states no booking required for pitches or a field is available for large groups - which is what i was told when I first rang. It appears we are un-wanted:P:D

I've spoken to another site in the lakes that have a pub. (b&b also)

http://www.sykeside.co.uk/

They seem ok but want an idea of numbers.

I wasn't originally expecting there to be too many of us up for this but lets see what can be sorted. If anyone can suggest other sites in the lakes to try with a pub close by please PM me.


Please copy and paste this list adding your details to the next post:thumb


Camping Fri and Sat night

Squid (Rob)



Camping Sat only - assuming they don't have a problem with this



Either just coming for a ride on Sat or staying in a b&b


Road Ride
John D
Squid




Off road run
ktm525exc



We will probably have to put a limit of 10 to each ride and 10 max to one campsite but lets see who's interested in what and what can be booked.

Doc Savage has given an alternative site for me to try also with all that's required:thumb

EDIT

I've just rang these - although they have a no group policy they seem happy to have us. The only thing here is they have been having building work done so although it wouldn't be during the weekend the site is not looking its best.

Sounds like its there if other places don't want the custom.

this was Docs mail




another option

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there is a camp site at Braithwaite NR Keswick, a pub is 150 yds away (Royal Oak) that has decent grub, real ales and B&B

The campsite is within spitting distance of Grizedale forrest (good off roading) and the whilatter pass and visitor centre

If anyone needs chippys banks shops etc Keswick is 5 mins ride away,

just off the A66 going towards cockermouth

I have stayed in the B&B and can recomend, the capsite is ok aswell.

Cheers

Doc

if it's ok with people i'd rather do the off road on the sunday ??
so i can do the road run on the saturday with the rest of you chaps because the are lanes for the gs up there but not enough to keep us going all day. for example the GS can be very spaced out:eek:

I was thinking two separate runs on the Sat would keep the groups smaller but join up for lunch.

If it makes more sense to do a road ride all together Sat then thats fine by me:Duchess

The only consideration for an off road run Sunday is what time it would be finished because of packing up tents etc.

The other option would be to combine the two with dodge arounds for the non nutters

Best plan is to go with what ever suits those who are up for the off road:thumb

top man Squid
i'm happy to go with the flow:thumb:D, i know all the lanes in the Lakes, done around 90% of them, but post Nerc bill i've not been that much , So i'm just updating my maps and what lanes a GS can do...but the lanes in genral are slighty harder than the run we did in the peaks...this i'll have to make clear to folk . but we can help each other and take a slow pace on harder sections.. because i love the crack with each other coming off but i did not think for one minute we would have so many downs on sunday, which i did not laugh at other than my silly off..if we was on the smaller bikes it would have been funny.. but not on the gs ers.. then again if pispter came off i would have died and gone to heaven:D:D:D as long as it was a gental off:D:D
 
Can you stick me down for the road ride, and maybe the off road aswell (see what the weather's like :augie):D

bugger it, put me down for the camping , if i get cold at night i'll start the bike and hug the engine.

looking to leave lancaster about 2 or 3 pm on Fri if it fits in with anyones trip up let me know. then rather then go up the m6 take the A683 to Kirkby Lonsdale / Devils Bridge to meet people coming from the Leeds diarection on the A65 again any takers let me know.

All the best, adam
