For those of you staying in the hotel @ Newby Bridge, please note the following :
Breakfast is now available from 7.30am
St Bees is just over 1 hour away
Due to the nature of the roads in the Lake District I have decided we need to have a 'staggered release' of cars from our meeting place .... this should make your trip through the lakes a much more pleasant experience.
So what I need is approx 8 groups of 5 cars , each leaving St Bees at a specific time.
Please could you let me know, by adding your name & car below, which slot you want to be in .
Some of the groups will have 'guide cars' .... cars which know their way through the lakes ..... so if you are slightly unsure about navigating through the Lakes make sure you select one of these groups. These Guide cars are only there to help with the run through to Ambleside.
For those of you staying in the hotel @ Newby Bridge, please note St Bees is just over 1 hour away .... bare this in mind when deciding which slot you want
Ideally arrive with plenty of time to spare.If you want an earlier or later start then you are free to do so ...... the aim of this is just to make sure there isn't a convoy of 35 - 40 cars trying to get over the Hardknott pass at the same time .... that would be a nightmare
.... remember, with these passes, the earlier the better so you don't end up meeting too much traffic coming towards you.I will be parked at the exit of the carpark controlling the release of cars to ensure each group has plenty of time between them & to ensure the groups don't bunch up on Hardknott / Wrynose.
