Wouldn't have minded a 2 day meet with camping however, not everyone is available both days and it's late november, etc... But I wouldn't be bothered about camping in a field

Think I've just about decided on a route to use. Just need to decide where lunch stop should be.

Suggestions for the locations, as follows:

Newlands Valley

Honister Pass

Kirkstone Pass

Hardknott and Wrynose Pass (with an option to go an explore Cathedral Cave, Little Langdale)

Alston & Hartside Cafe

The exact route is yet to be confirmed, so any ideas are welcome.

Depending on whether people are up for camping, this could also be arranged, but this isn't a necessity in late November really... Just another idea.

Awesome, hope to see you there!

Lunch could be Hartside Cafe, Alston, Ian?

Depends how to route has been done though.

You coming along? We've decided on a meeting place and time. :-)

Yeah count me in

Yeah count me in

count me in aswell

Wish my car was being built before mid December!!!

Dunno what route you've got planned or the extent of your local knowledge but the Passes could be very tricky if not impassable late November especially first thing in the morning (Hardknott and Wrynose being the worst) if it's frosty..

Might be worth taking into consideration an alternate route for inclement weather?

Exactly Sandy, personally I'm ruling out Hardknott and Wrynose for this one, especially as daylight will be limited too. Anyway Sandy youre more than welcome to bring whatever car you have now though, doesn't bother me at all what cat people bring

But fear not everyone theres plenty of nice roads left to pick from.

are people doing directions of the meet, incase anyone gets lost etc, if not ill just write them down once decided where we are going first from the meet point

I'm not a fan of publicly posting the precise route on a public forum as you never know who's watching, but I'll do a google maps link for you, and send it in a pm to those that want it. How does that sound?

Day trip, well I have done it before I suppose I should get me and Paige on the list.

I wonder if the Snow should have come in by then.
