OK Guys,

 

Thought I'd try and start getting numbers for this. The proposed run out is meet at the Big Lamp brewery in Newburn at about 10am-11am. Then up on to the A69 to Haydon Bridge, then the A686 across to Penrith. I'll post on the the North West forum and see if any of the guy's over there want to meet up for late Lunch. Suggestion are welcome for the route and stopping points. I'll try and finalise a rout when I get back from Italy unless somebody else wants to do it while I'm away (Steveo?).

 

From the North East:

 

1) qwarrior

2) Jonny (As long as the car is back)

3) safcdixon

4) Colin-mkiv (dunno wht in yet though, cos sold the red fella )

5)

 

From the North West (Suggestions for meeting point are welcome)

 

----> For Penrith area there is the Stoney Beck Inn with an easy accessible car park

----> On the A686 at the Hartside Cafe car park

Hopefully we'll get a decent turn out.

as for suggestion we could basically stay on the a686 all the way to penrith thats an awesome peice of road, maybe go along the a66 on the way back through appleby or barney castle get some good pictures there, aswell as up at the hartside, alston and penrith etc.
