Herts / Beds Chatsworth 2010

[TVR 500 DAN]

Hi guys, I am thinking of travelling up from Knebworth this year to the Chatsworth Gathering on the 24th/25th April. I was going to look for a B&B / Hotel in the Bakewell area for the saturday night, so we can park the car up, have a pint and a meal or curry. Anyone interested in tagging along, i would like to attend the run out on the Saturday afternoon and the Gathering at Chatsworth House on the Sunday before heading home.

Anyone recommend a B&B or hotel?

Dan

Maybe start a list.........

Sounds like it may be fun - will you be going up by yourself? Not knowing many others at the moment and with a wife who'd rather not attend a 2 day TVR event it'd be good to get out and meet some others. I'm in St Neots BTW so easily able to join you, as such count me in;

Hi guys, great to see some interest in attending this event from our region. My Mrs hates the TVR so i will be driving up alone. Let me know your thoughts on a B&B / Hotel, so we can get booked up. My preference would be to be in the Town of Bakewell or another local town and for a secure car park.

Just booked myself - double with single occupancy.

Looks like the car park may be quite nice if it fiils up entirely with TVRs.
Are any of you guys planning to do the Saturday run into the Peaks?

[TVR 500 DAN]

Yeah defo!

My plan is to travel up on the saturday morning, find somewhere for some lunch, join in the run through the peak district, check in to hotel, shower and maybe a curry or some food, then Chatsworth on the Sunday before heading for home.

I saw that too. More importantly I noticed this (Ruby followed by beers);

Chaps,

The Manor Hotel is in it's own right a good bar / restaurant with decent off road parking, the Samad Cottage Indian restaurant opposite comes highly recommended, there's even a Dominoes take away next door (lol), the Blue Stoops 50 yards away is okay and the Green Dragon 100 yards away is a very trad 17th century pub. It's not Covent Garden, but you can definitely make a night of it if you want to.

Bob

over the road for a ruby,a few beers with in the gragon, , and then off to the lap dancing club, sounds great

I'm not actually aware of any such establishment in this area
