Weekender anyone?, 2021

11-09-2020, 11:02 AM

Hi Nigel,

The weekend is still in its embryonic stage and will be tailored to meet the attendees. The intention is to make it the attendees weekender. To explain I have had interest expressed in a couple of locations in the area which I would like to incorporate in the ride outs,

Devonshire Dock
Ravenglass railway
Conniston ( bluebird museum).

Because of the distance travelled probably choice of short /long rideouts and lots of evening relaxation !!

Hope that wets the appetite !!

Hey Gazza, there is a reason there are so many lakes there! The hotel roof doesn't leak so we are all good ,welcome aboard sir! ( no nautical pun intended)

Hi Mike, please can I book a single room for all 3 nights. I look forward to visiting the lakes, it's been far too long since I was there last.

Hi Dave, I have terrible news, I am not sure how to say this, adie851 has recently purchased................ An s4r, and it's BLUE.! More competition I am afraid

Dave it's great to have you on board, if you don't win best blue s4 then i guess you maybe in for "furthest travelled" , I know it's 9 months away but we need something to look forward too.

There’s also the Lakeside Motor Museum and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway not far away too. The roads in the area are pretty good as well, I’ve got a few personal favourites.
Blackpool Tower is visible from the Coast Road, despite the town being a fair trek by land as you have to go around Morecambe Bay.
Equally Grange-over-Sands is good as a tourist destination - and I can suggest the cheap rough pubs in Barrow if anybody fancies a change (that’d be suggestions based on what I’ve been told. Obviously!).

Moco, a room for all three nights for me & Mrs Dacs if you please. Needs to be a twin room, is that possible?
