Well, my 2005 & 2006 DDK events went OK .... so for 2009 its going to be the DDK Porsche Coast 2 Coast , very loosely based on Wainwrights C2C ( http://www.c2cpackhorse.co.uk/walk.htm )
The route ( to be plotted / planned by you ) will follow some of Englands most spectacular roads .... from technical & narrow roads / passes in the Lakes & the Dales, to the fast sweeping moorland roads of Teesdale & Yorkshire Moors.
The main point I must emphasis about this DDK tour is, I will supply everyone with suggested points of interest to travel through / stop at, but it is not a 'pre-planned route' or a 'convoy' style of event. Everyone is free to go which ever route they choose. If small groups are happy to drive together that's great & adds to the enjoyment. The aim is for you all to tour across the most scenic part of England, in your own time & at your own pace.
The basic plan for the event is this :
Friday 11th September
Overnight stay in the Lake District, close to St Bees
( For those travelling from a-far )
Sat 12th September
9.00am Meet in the beach car-park @ St Bees ( dip your toes in the Irish Sea )
10am Set off on 1st half of DDK C2C ( Lakes & Dales )
midday - Lunch stop @ a place of your choice
5pm - Arrive at Hotel ( located 1/2 way along the route) for overnight DDK meal + Overnight accomodation
Sunday 13th September
10am - Set off on 2nd leg of DDK C2C ( Dales & Moors )
3pm - Arrive near Robin Hoods bay for a tea / coffee / scones etc & a walk down to the beach + dip toes in the North Sea
The plan is to finish early afternoon so giving you the opportunity to travel home Sunday evening.
If people want, Sunday night accomodation can also be arranged.
The above is a VERY ROUGH outline, but gives you an idea.
All I need at this stage is an idea on numbers.
