Rich Wild, whats up with the spiderman tent ? collectors item now matey, OK, it's yours, so you've no excuses now
Spen555, If you check out the Wales camping trip we had a few weeks ago (Midland section)you'll find that 10.30 (ish) was a good start, although for some of us it wasn't worth bedding down for the night, we'll see how everyone feels eh?
Chris b, I know the site your on about, very near the Old Man Of Conniston I think, I'll check it out.
Michelle, your erm......head is welcome to lay anywhere matey, I just hope you dont dribble........your drink
Mark F, we'll be gentle (ish) with your tarmac and will try to leave it in a similar state as we find it, the more the merrier
M.W.
P.s. P1 back having been painted (front end) and has used blue undercoat, so any chips this time should'nt look as bad.....till next time eh boys (and gals)

Sounds like the place - the time I was there we nipped up and down the Old Man on the Sunday morning with sore heads

You walk across a couple of fields into Coniston.

Right, I'm off to trawl through Auto Trader looking at Scoobies

Chris

Just been in the lakes for the last 4 days, and managed to fit in a recce of local campsites. Found a decent one on the road between Bowness and Newby Bridge. It has bar, nice pitches, Electricity etc etc.

It is called Park Cliffe or Cliffe Park - cant remember Looks like the perfect site for our camping frolicks - if you need more info send us a mail.

Cheers

I also got a list of other campsites in the area from the Tourist Info but it only gives names, town and phone number.

...if its a drive in the hills...over hump back bridges and round long easy rights or lefts...count me in...

...if it involves little bits of the above....then, yup, count me in....

Starting point is going to be Preston, at a place beside the M6 motorway which will take us on some brill B roads up towards S.Lakes to end up Lakeside ! Following day will see us "mountaineering" various "scary" roads back towards Clitheroe ending in a welcoming hostelry to sample their wares and the British Grand Prix !

Hi guys,

I won't be able to go unfortunately, our kid is getting married on the saturday and I plan to get mainly drunk! I might be able to make the second day but I think it's unlikely, I am interested in meeting at the finish for the pub, beer and GP. It would be ideal for me, if a little selfish if the finish was nearer Skipton!

Bob
