A Nice Sunday Drive

Any one fancy a nice drive in the lakes

Holker Hall

The NW Meeting point is the festival market Carpark in Morecombe

LINKY

It's got a big carpark and is easy to find Right next door to Morrisons super store.

I suggest 9:30am.

The route will be down the A6 some nice twisties on that one
Join the A590 just south of Levens follow the 590 till the Grange over sands turn off.

This is the B5278 nice bit of Coast road

Holker is Sign posted from here

We should Hit Holker for about 11:00am

Looking forward to meeting you all

If any one wants to post some meeting points along the route that makes it easier to find us feel free to post em

    Should be able to make this after 2 failed attempts. The car has stopped overheating finally at a cost of over £1000 well worth it though. Water pump, belts, tensioners, plugs plus more changed so cant wait to finally meet up with you guys.

    I fancy that but it coincides with my Dad's 80th and the family's families should all be getting together then or the weekend after.

Re: Bluebird day out

Al, there's no more services other than Charnock Richard but that's before the M61 joins the M6. Could meet at the Tickle Trout @ Preston turn off? Let me know what you think and a suggested time.
Andy.
