Gary

Juliet is safe. The routes are going to be a secret until the day. Bring a map with you Gary and you can pour over them while she is driving!!
Will leave you plenty of time to take those moving photos from the passenger seat too.

I hope the weather is going to be good. Fingers crossed.

Regards
Mike

Hi Guys

not long now, do we have to bring bedding or is it all provided?

Regards

Just to confirm publicly that I can't make it either now - in Dublin all of that week

very disappointed - I'm sure the Scottish trip will be awesome!

John I will tell everyone sooner actually what they will need to bring with them. BTW I banked your cheque today.

Nice

Which OS maps will cover the route?

(I'll use any excuse to buy OS maps!)

Hopefully my new camera with 18-135 zoom will keep Juliet entertained in the passenger seat like on the Northern run, except this time I need to work out how to convince the autofocus to work through my heated windscreen

I agree with Gary we need an excuse to go out, buy said map and study. Come on Brendan/Mike throw us a bone

And the sat nav boys might like to pre-prepare an itinerary of the route just in case the dentist in a black RS rep takes a wrong turn

ACCOMODATION LAKE DISTRICT MONDAY. Here's an idea for those looking to break the journey south on Monday. We have been offered a fantastic deal at an incredible hotel near Kendal in the Lake District.
Its a stones throw from Mike Bainbridge's place, who will be with us in Scotland, and he has invited us to his workshop, Monday afternoon/Tues morning for any last minute fettling before the run south.

The hotel is the Netherwood, in Grange over Sands, and as you can see from the website its a bit special

http://www.netherwood-hotel.co.uk/

It is normally very expensive, but they have kindly offered a deal on two sharing a twin or double room at £65 per person for DINNER, bed and breakfast. All we do is pay the booze

Those wanting a single on their own its £95 Dinner, bed and breakfast. That includes use of all the facilities like pool, spa, gym and so on.
Not holding any rooms at the moment, just need to gauge the response over the next 48 hours of anyone interested.

Oooh.... that looks nice.
Very DDK isn't it.

Yeah, I'd be up for a night there.
I guess Barry will have to be too (as he's passenger with me).
Alright with that Barry?
I doubt they'll let you camp in the grounds.

Mike,

You're a genius. Please put myself and Liz down on your list.

Will
