Surf and Turf - Saturday 29th September 2012 - Lakes, Dales & Dragons

First topic message reminder :

Folks,

A heads up for this years S'n'T, as has become the custom it'll be the last weekend in September, we have booked the bunkhouse here;

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Good food, good beer and it's own waterfall (highest unbroken fall in England)

They also have B&B rooms for those that fancy it and camping for the brave amongst us (could be chilly in Sept!)

B&B is £40 pppn

For the bunkhouse its looking like £13 - £15 pppn or £16 - £20 with breakfast included.

We've booked the bunkhouse for as many people that want to come (I'm sure he said it can accommodate 50!) but if you would like one of the B&B rooms or camping etc. please get in touch with either me or terry lees and we'll deal with the landlord direct. I'm probably your best bet, by the time Terry has finished typing a reply we'll be booking for S'n'T 2013!


We may be able to organise some live music, there might be a BBQ, there will be some great roads and the usual apres-ride activities

Details will follow shortly.....

Gravel & debris will be a concern, its not good around here & its been mild in comparison

Yup, thats a definite, twas my intention to underline that before we set off on Sat. morning.

Pah - In Scotland we call that a light shower.

Seriously - it looks pretty bad on the news reports I've seen.
Hope y'all escape the worst of it.

I take it this means the route may remain a bit fluid

If there is any 'local' knowledge of any road closures etc that those attending may need to know for their journey please let us know.

I'm booked in anyhoos so I'll see you in the pub

Pretty sure it will have subsided by then, look forward to seeing you in the pub for even more "fluid" Whats your eta?

I'm coming up Friday and it was going to be my plan to leave about 10am and have a poodle about on the way up - try and avoid the A1.

Not sure about others bu I'm hoping to be there for between 4&5pm traffic depending and the weather of course, hopefully in the pub for 5:30 latest.

Excuse me if this has been covered but do we need to bring sleeping bags or pillows etc??

Well I finish at 1 but not sure about Nick, hoping to not be too late setting off.

6:30..... I may be slumped at the bar having had a few 'nerve calmers' after surfing over really can't wait and I really hope the weather doesn't spoil our last Hurraah for the year!!

Don't think I'll be able to leave work early. Hoping to team up with BillyW and his mate Sickboy enroute. Will try and get there before it gets dark but not holding out too much hope.
Will try and "catch up" in the pub.

Cheers

Toothpaste & toothbrush only? How's that gonna keep me warm on my bike????

If we only need toothbrush and tooth paste, I might not make it out of town riding ass naked to get to the motorway

Is it electric?

An electric toothbrush & an inspector gadget toiletry bag still isn't cutting the mustard. I'll put a shower cap in too

And ear plugs?

At last its stopped raining, and the forecast for fri. and sat. is good. A new natural feature has appeared in the dale, the locals have named it "Lake Wensley" !

you could use the shower cap as a tent then ellie

Hi all, as mentioned in a previous post we will be stopping for lunch in Windermere, at the Oakthorpe Hotel. The hotel is situated just off the A591 and only about 200 yds from the town centre, there's a small car park and plenty of on road parking. There's a small bar with hand pump real ale, tea coffee and soft drinks are all available. For those that fancy a snack, I have arranged various sandwiches to be available, and the owner has kindly offered to make up some lamb broth. The sandwiches will be £4.95 per plate and the broth £4.95, if you have both it will be £7.95. Whilst I appreciate that this is'nt cheap, its below what you would nomally pay in a touristly place like Windermere, and I can vouch for the quality of the food. (we regularly have breakfast here on a Sunday morning) I don't need to know what you want or indeed if you want anything untill friday night, I can then compile a list and phone it through to the hotel. For those that are meeting up with us on Sat. would you please let me know before Fri. night.

Sounds lovely Terry, pity they've got hand pulls on when we're all driving lol.

How's the roads your way on?

I was once offered super sex and went for the soup too Terry.

Probably best if I stick with the soup.

Roads have dried out and the lake is slowly going down, just a few isolated showers during the day.

Is it Black Tie Terry?
