TVRCC High Peak Nomads "Trip to Two" Lakeland Motor Museum
Discussion
With May being an exceptionally busy month for events, what was going to be a two day tour has now been restricted to a one day trip on the 9th May. We are proposing to go to the Lakeland Motor Museum in Newby Bridge, which as you know is home to TVR2 and the Speed 12.
Pending on numbers the museum will reserve their South car park for us and give a group discount - basically 20 people for a group.
There will be two options to get there. For members wanting to get there and back quickly there is the direct M6 route and for those wanting a "scenic option" - I am working on it!
As to dates the 9th was put in the diary as it was obviously going to be the first day of the tour with a stop over - keeping this date will still give that option if needed and I can arrange for rooms at the adjacent Whitewater Hotel. Otherwise if the consensus falls for the 10th .... then will need to be the same numbers to get the Lakeland benefits!
Let me know if interested asap!

We are now looking to do this over the weekend of 10th/11th October. There will be two options:
1. The "Tour" involving run through York Dales, Northumberland, Cumbria/ Lakes with overnight stop and dinner.
or
2. Simply arrive on Sunday at the museum.
The more we have for the museum the better as there will be discounted admissions and we can reserve our private car park. Similarly, to negotiate best rates for overnight!
Let me have expressions of interest to ascertain numbers and logistics!

A successful recce today. An amended route will be available by the end of the week if not sooner! There has been a change to the lunch stop and The Whitewater Hotel in Backbarrow, Ulverston has been block booked (complete hotel of 38 rooms) for the overnight stop over, if required, and will be held for us for a limited period.

I have received a Group Menu Form from the Whitewater which I will be sending out to those I know are attending. This needs to be returned within at least 3 days before our arrival date as it gives their Kitchen team the benefit of having all our requirements prepared beforehand and ease the service.
If anyone who is going and does not receive the menus, please email me or pm me asap.

I sent this through to Daggsy, but for anyone else wanting join us at Appleby:
Here is Google link for the layby on the A66 we could meet up at:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.5848313,-2.48889...
This should be the first Layby after Appleby.
I think it will take us about 3.25 hours (12.00 - 12.15pm pending traffic / stragglers) to get there, but I can keep you advised by phone, pending signals! This will then allow us just over an hour to reach our lunch stop.
Failing the "best laid plans", it will be the first that see parked up TVR's in a layby after Appleby!
