Check out Borrowdale and Newlands valleys, Buttermere, Derwent, Ennerdale, Loweswater & Ullswater lakes for the best views at this time. Make sure you ask for sunshine!

How handy that the planned route takes in Borrowdale, Buttermere, Derwent, Loweswater & Ullswater

Excellent work!

BTW (I'm sure you know) That means you'll (we'll) pass my local... the Kirkstyle Inn, Loweswater... a stunning pub with great food and views. (gets very busy though).

[docevi1]

I don't know it no, but what is the parking like? We could always adjust the plan and have lunch there and forget about tea... It'll mean lunch is around 12:30-1 then

[GetCarter]

Parking is good at 11.45 but crap at 13.00 ... It really depends how many cars there are... I suggest it could be a bit of a nightmare. Especially at the weekend, as when the car park is full there is absolutely nowhere else to park.

You might be better sticking to the tea idea.

Shame really... >> www.kirkstile.com/

Thanks to Steve (GetCarter) the route has changed slighty, well we are running it in reverse to end up at the Phesant for an early tea - is that ok with everyone?

[tvrbob]

Reverse, forwards, make no difference to me.

[docevi1]

more to do with having an early tea...

I missed this, not being a NE PH'er

I'll see what's on at work (might be needed for a fibre cable move) otherwise, I'll try and make it.

Why not post on NWPH?

I was seeing the numbers interested - the roads we are heading on don't lend themselves to too many cars.

Since there only appears to be 5 people from NE interested it's going into Yorkshire & NW now

[WildfireS3]

Sorry Stefan, I would be up for it, but I'm off to Keswick this weekend, and I only have the monies for a few jaunts out at the weekend.

[docevi1]

If anyone wants GPS co-ords for the main route let me know

Could I get an idea of numbers so I can ring The Pheasant/know how many routes to get printed...

Still uncertain, I'm afraid. Still hopeful though! (Could I fit a baby seat in the Elise?!?)

I feel unwell just watching it on screen, let alone subjecting my child to it for a day. Smilie thumbs down to you!

[dexy]

i may come along, wont be in the wedge iam doing some more work on it, replacing the outriggers then rebush the front end ,so its off the road till next year ill probably be taxing her in jan then i be taking her for a run to southern spain all being well .so put me name down as a maybe .
cheers neil

[wedg1e]

Aye, put me a down as a maybe too. The TVR is laid up now, but I'm sure the Esprit would like a run out
Take plenty of tools and a tent, just in case!
Mind you the Lakes is a pain in a low car, you can't see over the walls and hedges. I could probably make better progress in the van, but where's the fun in that
