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

Posted here because my flikkin dial up will only handle so many photo's (though it handled my kite ok - so I must be losing weight)

In response to some comments made earlier:

1. I hadn't guffed at that point though I do believe I might have followed through moments earlier while shaking hands with Happy Man! Oops!

2. For Roswell - As anyone remotely informed would appreciate, my attire was entirely designed both to fit in with the local garb - those Cumbnostrians are strange folk and prefer to trade happily with large men in strange troos, and to accomodate some bulky equipment I carry around with me.

3. You will have observed my suspiciously bulging lower pockets

4. Sorry for arriving late and nicking off early - but it was lovely to meet everyone and I am pleased to see everyone made it back ok.
