Philplop Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I'm working early on saturday, so I'm game on for Saturday night / Sunday! Edited September 15, 2009 by Philplop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpanda Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've invited some friends, all have Vw's but there not members on here, one of them has our old lupo simpo Hope your ok with them coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 A large turnout sounds good. From the looks of things it will most likely be a Sunday drive only as allot of people have commitments on Saturday. I have a very kind offer of a place to stay on Saturday night, and will take it unless the majority want to camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sunday Drive only is good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpanda Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hmmm, maybe a night out in Newcastle/Hotel = A good idea, then meet up with you lot Sunday morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think something like a 9.30-10am start in Penrith on Sunday morning is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sounds ok to me, means I don't have such an early morning!You could go out in Newcastle, but you'll still have a canny drive on Sunday morning, can't be much shorter than just driving up from Leeds.

electricpanda Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I can see us ending up getting to a campsite and just drinking all day till sunday morning. Might even visit Morcambe Where abouts in Penrith are we meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Shell petrol station: (Victoria Rd, Penrith, CA11 8HU) should be easy enough to find. Anyone have a better idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Meet at KFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Without being the bossy teacher type, KFC is on the same road as the Shell petrol station, and would make more sense, as there is plenty of parking.Think it should be a 9.45am meet for 10.15am set off, and only wait if one of us gets a call.Also going to post up a route in 5 mins.

MattyA Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here's a possible route (which can include food stops & petrol stops)click meIt's not a huge amount of the Lakes, but I've tried to incorporate a bit of everything, including our usual roads. (Im happy to re-plan the Hawes to Richmond part, as it can be **** driving through Swaledale.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Everything looks good so far, cheers for the inputs guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here's a possible route (which can include food stops & petrol stops)Could we start further to the East? lolI have a LONG drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yeah you have a long way to come Andi, but Penrith is the obvious starting point for access to the Lakes. Might be worth seeing if a few people would meet at Scotch Corner first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
