Nice one! It's got the makings of a very good meet already! Be awesome if your mate brings his DTM Simon, a very rare car that!

Awesome John!

Any reccomendations for a start time? If we were wanting to do Hartside pass then as Jamie said its best to make it earlier. For just general Lakes driving then anytime is pretty reasonable...

Now that sounds like a proper plan John! Will you be coming to the main start point at Penrith? There's a possibility you may end up driving the same roads twice in one day lol.

Yes Colin, i think we should start at the meet point I don't think that's a bad thing! we can check the logistics in due course.

Cheers
John

Foretrees · 05-02-2017, 03:46 AM

Hi Colin.... are you heading out to do some route planing this week, hope the weathers good

looking forward to our weekend away

Colinv6 · 05-03-2017, 02:24 PM

So I have been round today and I have a provisional route sorted, it's about 85 miles in a loop, but some of it is pretty slow paced, due to the narrowness of the Honnister pass, my average speed was maybe 20mph or less!!

So if everyone is ok with making this more of a Lake District cruise, then it's fine, I can promise you the views are absolutely unreal!

I've uploaded loads of pics to whet your appetite

Colinv6 · 05-03-2017, 02:49 PM

Hope you enjoy

Simon H · 05-03-2017, 03:35 PM

Looks stunning Col,
I recognise some of it, but dont think ive been down Honnister. Looking forward to it

derekh929 · 05-04-2017, 06:28 AM

That looks fantastic Colin also can you get me 20 decent size pieces of that slate as need for a Garden project, we can come to a deal later
