England : Cumbria Lakes Weekend Meetup #NEW DATE# May 2016 - #NOW CLOSED#

[Fubar]

Ok, following on from this thread who is up for a Lakes weekend in May 2016?

###THREAD NOW CLOSED###
WHEN: EDITED: will aim for the Weekend of 20-23 May;
WHERE: Lake District, where-ever I can get! I'll aim to book accommodation based on Youth Hostel type (single-sex shared room basis) - plenty of suggestions on the other thread, they are also well suited to big groups with bikes;
WHO: Anyone is welcome!
WHAT: Focus will be on cycling but this is not compulsory - you can spend the weekend in the pub or reading poetry (or both) if you want to;
HOW: Get there how you like!
COST: Around £90-100 mark for 3 nights, excluding your food and transport (neither of which I am responsible for!)

I need to know an idea of numbers so names below please - only add your name if you are willing to send me a deposit (say £25) on request, and let me know if you are restricted on dates.

Any other thoughts/comments/suggestions welcome, will look to book something in the next few weeks.

You know I ride with GPS, do you want me to learn how to read a map??
Actually, just got a brilliant idea!
See how now you are an experienced audaxer? Why not organize a mini (100km) audax? That would be a challenge!
Any of us that get hopelessly lost can be rescued by local cycle chatters

Not even Google knows what you're on about.

so does that mean I may have a co-conspirator?

I'm sure we'll get plenty route ideas from the collective, Ed already suggested the Fred Whitton - though that is mental and Ed is probably dead. For normal people we can plan a meandering 100k with the help of some locals
