Hi all,
Plans for the weekend beginning to come together.
Mandy & Martin are staying in Thirlspot so Geoff,Colin & I are going to camp at the site there next to the pub!!
Plan is to meet in the coffeeshop(next to the public loos) in the main Keswick carpark(on the BG route) at 0945 Sunday.Geoff wants to recce Skiddaw leg of 50@50 so a circular route is easy to plan.
Monday we can do something over Helvellyn,maybe meeting up with Greg the Gardener & others on the CtoC.
All welcome,for 1 day or 2,it won`t be quick & there are lots of options for short cuts or long cuts.Contact me about carshare.
Col,suggest we drive up Sunday morning if you`re coming.
Phil

To all those in the Lakes this weekend.

Janet, the girls Grace & Lydia & I will be at the Fell & Rock Hut in Langdale this weekend as there is a family meet. We have no set itinerary & one or all of us may be able to join up with you at some point. Otherwise if you are in Langdale pop in & see us for a brew. Some of you will know where the hut is but for those who don't I will try to post a Grid Ref later.

Lets hope there is some good weather, especially for Ross Litherland, Jon Chapman & Mike Nelson who are looking to attempt a minimal support Bob Graham Round. Best wishes to them.
Cheers.
Craig.

The best laid plans etc sorry Phil I won't be joining you in the Lakes. As I mentioned the other day our annual pilgramage to Cader Idris is on the first Sun of the month of May and is a family and friends traditon that has been going on now for over forty years (I kid you not) - every year someone is not there but new family members join in. To miss it would mean excommunication or maybe something worse - .
Anyway I shall wave to you in the Lakes from the top of Cader.

Hello Phil,
I'd love to join you on Sunday. Can you just confirm that the car park is Bell Close (I seem to recall it's got toilets and a coffee shop - just down from the Lakeland Pedaller). Many thanks.
Steve

Correct,we`ll either be in the Peddlar,or more likely the cafe 50 yds further up the carpark
