I could organise a run Oop North, if anyone is interested say around the Lake District. Taking in:-
1. Devils Bridge (meeting place for those from further Oop North.
2. Windermere for Lunch
3. Kirkstone Pass
4. Keswick
5 Grasmere
6. Ambleside
7. Hawkshead
8. Catch ferry back to Windermere about £3.00 I think
9. Then either go home or back to our gaf for food.
Just need to arrange times dates etc if anyone fancies, if we do this as a continous run it will take a couple of hours . This is from Windermere and not from the M55. so I should imagine it would have to be an early meet up.
So anyone interested then and let me know if you want to have a brew at the Hartside  as this will determine a longer day out.

Not worth it for me G, but if anyone is travelling from down south its a good place. Not kean on the bunk house myself. And Greg, you are nearly in Hawes from there 
Could always ask M if she would mind stepping over bodies when she gets up in the morning.

At the mo I still don't precisely what I'm doing... It may be a meet up with you guys some where on the M5 either because I'm at my parents or have come up from Bristol, or may be at Ray's already....
Once I know whether I have Friday off work or not, I'll let you know. I should know by tomorrow evening. Nothing like being able to plan is there?!?!?!?

Ok, will see what Funkletrumpet is doing then, as Grzegorz may find it easier to meet up with him first, and depending on where Gina is. I will go to Jane's in Coventry and pick M6 somewhere around M42. If Gina is at her parent's and Funkletrumpet is coming, then I suggest meeting at the Cafe on A5.

Gina, seeing Jane tomorrow night (it's Dad's birthday), but I think Hilton Park at 10 will be best for us, as Jane is much closer to M6 than M5, and we will be heading off from her place. She will be pleased as she gets a lay in! Am seeing Grzegorz on Thursday evening, so will sort out with him then. Any idea what time we will get to Ray's? Neill, name the place/time and we will be there, please allow travel time form Birmingham. hehe.
