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

[Fubar]

For those not familiar with Audax terminology, the Arivee is the meal/ refreshments at the end of an audax ... so OMIL is laying on a feed for all those who will have cycled to the start.

What a splendid chap he is !

Might buy a pint but don't get ideas - like Davie on tour who asked every mealtime "wit are we eatin'?"

 

[Fubar]

Absolutely no idea what I am doing** tomorrow, let alone next May - but I'm Watching ...



**or if my knees, shoulder et al will be behaving themselves ...

If I waited for everyone "watching" to commit nothing would ever happen!

How about end of September for deadline of notes of interest and deposits? I'll PM everyone with details, and start making enquiries with accommodation.

I COULD just book us into a YHA but was looking for something that was more Newtonmore and less Pitlochry, if that makes sense.

I know exactly what you mean. I,d go back to Newtonmore any day, but strangely enough I slept like a log at Pitlochry. For all those light sleepers coming along this time I have first dibs on the shower room.

Both get away from the wife and kids for a weekend , be nice to have a weekend not being nagged in surround sound ( house full of women )

Ahem!! There will be Pat, Fifi, the Belles and several others there!!

Talking of which, Pat is trying to nagg me to join this, so, umm, yeah, put my name down (my goodness, what have I just said?).

I'd enquired about the original weekend which was not available but our new weekend is - I've asked him to get back to me with costs.

 

[Fubar]

The top two hits on a quick google both look promising:

http://www.elterwaterhostel.co.uk/
http://www.thorneyhow.co.uk/

Elterwater Hostel looks really good, I've emailed then an initial enquiry - Thorneyhow was on my list but we are trying to avoid the busiest roads/areas through the Lakes...

I like the number 13!

End of September deadline? Boo, hiss, etc. That's not nearly enough time to determine my plans for next year.

I can send you the deposit for you to keep my place warm like a hen, but I'm really not in a position to say yay or nay any time soon.

Yeahbutt... You would need until the end of April to decide your plans...

There is the little issue of booking lots of people into suitable accommodation in a very popular place...

 

[Scoosh]

Yeahbutt... You would need until the end of April to decide your plans...

… or May, in my case

I don't need this abuse!


I've got people queuing round the block to get a shot at giving me abuse!

You LOVE the abuse! Abuse is your middle name! Well, actually it's Tarquin - but we won't mention that...

Are you two married by chance ?
