Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
Bill and Jean - Zed Carer and his lovely wife - are coming over to the lakes on Saturday the 15th of June to have a days run out in the Lakes with myself and Seasurfer, taking in Hardknot and Wrynose and anywhere else that takes our fancy. It will be a circular route (of a fashion) starting and finishing so my co-pilot can pick her car back up.
It will be a cruise to enjoy the scenery with stop off points along the way to sample the best tea and cakes the Lakes have to offer and is likely to last most of the day, usually getting back to Lower Sizergh to have a coffee and natter before we part company.
Bill and Jean will be staying over on the Saturday night in the area - B & B to be confirmed so anyone else who may want to come and fancies the stopover - PM Bill.
Anyone else for a run out in stunning scenery - we've ordered the sun so hopefully tops down all the way
MEET UP INFO
Meeting at LOWER SIZERGH for tea and toast and to pick up my co-pilot 09:15 - 09:30
Then off following Bills route, which may be planned'ish, we just might make it up as we go along or we may just go wherever the wind blows us around the lakes ...happy days.

Oh pants. You would choose the Pageant of Power weekend, wouldn't you! That would have been a nice run out for me as my folks live only a few miles from the meeting point. Another weekend and I might have made it this time!

Hi snoops, have just returned from a couple of days at Newby Bridge and really enjoyed the scenery in the Lakes. Would love to join you on the 15th June for a drive round. Hope you're serious about the sun as we didn't see much while we were there. That's why it's called the Lake District.

Good stuff ... are you coming up for the day from Stafford? I could tag on from Junction 27 if you are.... we can sort out timings nearer the day ...Mint wrote:Hi snoops, have just returned from a couple of days at Newby Bridge and really enjoyed the scenery in the Lakes.

I didn't know you were so close We were only there for a couple of days and not in the Zed either. Looking forward to meeting some more folks from the forumseasurfer wrote:Mint, you should have let me know, im only down the road from Newby Bridge, could have nipped up to meet you.
Re: Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
How can anyone resist that scenery... It is a stunning route and the little train station cafe was great but better be hungry..huge portions

I managed to eat some dodgy cooked meat and ended up confined to the house eating yoghurt and toast for a week and missed out on Hardknott and Wrynose. Then some (kind) people just kept posting photos of the food so I could see what I was missing!seasurfer wrote:Why, what happended last year?

Re: Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
It was lovely to have a fellow zed enthusiast sat at the side of me rather than an empty seat or someone just politely nodding at my enthusiasm because he likes his TT much more. My indulgence of all things zed is understood and supported but not really shared..... Looking forward to Gills company again and hopefully she is looking forward to my new purchase for the trip...

Re: Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
I may be able to make this one now, as I still don't have a frog with an engine in it to do the pageant.
If it doesn't get put back together next week, then I will likely be coming up to my folks' for Father's Day.
I will confirm during the week.
Cheers R.

Great news

Re: Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
Frog is still engineless (or should that be engine is still frogless), so no visit to Cholmondeley Castle for me.
The good news is that I can definitely make this now.
Looking forward to it and praying that the weather is not the usual fare for Cholmondeley weekend (i.e. cats and dogs and mud three feet deep).
One thing to watch out for is that it is the Great North Swim on Windermere the whole weekend, so expect extra traffic on the roads and possibly extra traffic heading up the M6 to the Lakes.
Cheers R.

Looking forward to it. Won't have time to clean the zed properly before then, and it will likely get wet tomorrow anyway.

Robert, snoops and I are meeting at Charnock Richard Services (just North of J27, M6) between 08:15-08:30 to travel to Lower Sizergh Farm together. Do you want to meet us there?
Re: Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
Well I would, Dave, except I will be staying with my folks on Friday night, and as they live only a few miles from the start point, I'd be driving 50 miles South down the M6.
Enjoy the drive up.

Re: Hardknott/Wrynose re-visited Saturday 15th June 2013
Just try to avoid Ambleside, particularly Waterhead and Low Wood, or we may have to swim for it.
I know quite a lot of the roads round there, but not the bit from Broughton to Eskdale and over Hardknott. I've been over Wrynose and along Wrynose Bottom a few years back.
Should be quite a good test for my new handbrake shoes.
