hot66 wrote:Finding accommodation for us all has turned out to be a nightmare !! I must have spoken to around 20 hotels today !! All the places I had thought of using were booked with Weddings , or were charging well over £230 DBB I like my luxury, but that is too expensive for this kind of event. The only other option was to split the group into different hotels, but then we'd have lost the atmosphere that makes these DDK events so much fun Anyway, it appears one night only stays for over 60 people need to be booked a LONG way in advance.

So, after spending all day on the phone to various places I have finally found somewhere for Saturday night

This is a hotel that satisfies all our requirements :

good hotel
good price
can feed us all at the same time
has a good bar
large secure carpark
located at the edge of the dales

What you all need to do now is BOOK YOUR ROOMS DIRECT ASAP with the hotel. Remember, this is for the SATURDAY night ONLY.

All details can be found in the member area :

I'd rather all details of the hotels, routes etc was kept in the members area , so please no posting about the location in this thread

Details of Friday night hotel to follow once I've had a rest

I have now sorted out the Friday night accommodation

Careful on that ferry if your car is lowered! I gave my front skirt a right good scraping coming off that last year. The loud crunching nose kind of spoiled the effect for the crowd of on lookers!

But i've raised it up now so it'll ok in september....

Looks like I'm changing the route

My car is probo too low for the ferry. I always use the ferry, but I've always been in one of my 'normal' cars

Couple of question of a boring but practicable nature. We don't know whether we'll be with or without kids at this stage. If we are with kids will they be able to get out of the car and burn off steam from time to time and will there be any places on the way for them? Obviously we won't want to stop the group at all so if it means we do a different route etc. so be it. It's just that they both love the DDK so! Asha's promised to look after George, though since she'll be 6 i wouldn't go too far away

Loads of opportunities Mike

To be honest the direct route between hotels would only take a couple of hours. Nearer teh time if you have kids I can point you in the right direct etc etc
