I have been thinking for a while about a 'Spring Summer Get Together' in middle England, possibly in the Lakes,

Initial thoughts are for a two night stay in one of the big country house hotels with a couple of tours thrown in.

Best to avoid the bank holidays as its full of sodding tourists. I know the area quite well having lived there in the past.

Let me know if there is interest and I will look into costs etc.

Just checked one of my old locals Queens Head Hotel Troutbeck, £65 PP, per night BB. Only have 15 rooms so will have to be quick if we get a big bunch like in Le Touquet last year.

if you are doing the lakes, the drunken duck is a good option, owner is a bit of a petrol head and loves maseratis, I traded a ride in my car for a table for dinner when they had no room at the inn. they also have a private car park, nice food and best of all for you drinkers, a micro brewery...

Count me in! That's if I can complete this seasons series of 'Dancing On Ice'.
Loz, you can't imagine how many times I've nearly provided you with your next project.
Cheers

You take care Andy , but if you must , i prefer a slight rear end hit rather than a hard frontal , but try not to bend those tubi's

thanks for trying

regards loz

Loz, I'd heard that it's been a long time since you had a hard frontal.

OK the duck won't change their strange policy of 3 rooms max for groups....so Queens Head in Troutbeck Village it is.

http://www.queensheadhotel.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

Two dates Fri 21- Sun 23 May 2 nights from £55 per person per night B&B
Or the following weekend Fri 28 - Mon 31 [has to be three due to B'Hols] from £60, but of it will be very busy on the roads, and in all the pubs etc.

They have plenty of rooms left so give me a steer guys...for me the first day is better but I can take leave at any time.

Price rise at the end of this month so if we book soon we will keep the 2008 prices as advertised.

Not a show stopper but would definitely prefer it not to be a Bank Holiday.

I'd agree, avoid bank holiday's in that area of the country, it's a ramblers delight up there!

Ask for Ruth and mention the forum.

Andy/Jane Family room reserved for you but be quick.

50% deposit required for the rooms. Table for 16 booked for Friday at 19:30.

So get onto the hotel and bok your place.

Now what about meeting on the M6 for those heading North, and maybe one of the A Roads from the NE for those on the east of the Yorkshire moors...then all meet up on at the Services on the main road to Kendal, drive down to Ferry Nab, ferry to Hawkshead then lunch at Kirkstone Galleries so the ladies can do some shopping whist we have an expresso and a bit to eat.

Then over the Kirkstone Pass towads Barrow, the loop back and drive to the Inn. Relax then the meal and some beers/wine...Crem de Meth Andy????

Day two
Blat up the hill towards Keswick, if the suns out a bit of boating, drive down to Buttermear or Cartmell. Pub lunch. In the evening free evening or a meal at Lucy's in Ambleside.

Day three
Late breakfast, last run out then lunch in the Drunken Duck just above Hawkshead and farewells.
