Camping Trip to the Lakes - Friday 27th - Sunday 29th June

[skodagirl1985]

just a quick warning those travelling north, there are spec cameras on the m6 at birmingham if you are too tight to go the toll road.

just counted up the speed traps i have 56 to pass through on my way up (1 every five miles).

56:eek::eek:. Thats alot of speed traps. That means someone not being careful could lose there lisence 14 times over.

[Skodaboy1983]

None for us on the way down at all regarding speedtraps as far as I am aware.

Todays weather forecast says it will now be sunny on saturday

fingers corssed

[yashicamat]

Neither I have!!

Still works out cheaper then going away, mind you I'm back down the lake district about 6 weeks later in a cottage which will cost me about £340! plus diesel and food!!

The good beer we've sorted for ourselves isn't too pricey and you'll agree I'm sure that it's bloody fantastic stuff.

[Neo_VR]

ASDA have 3 crates of beer for £20 offer on at the mo

[Captain Scarlet]

Who cares if it rains, won't go past the skin afterall.....lol

Just washed the car, so I hope it doesn't so it will still look nice.

Davy, have you a time in mind when you'll be leaving?

[Skodaboy1983]

Captain Scarlett pm'd you mate, I'm having toleave about 11am from edinburgh to go and collect my springs.

Be cleaning the car tomorrow.

Come rain or shine, it'll be an awesome trip I assure you.

Besides, I have yet to meet anyone who can accurately forcast the Lake District weather an hour in advance, yet alone 3 days . . .

quick few questions

1. will there be a power point there?

2. a on site shop?

3. wash facilities? are they any good?

4. latest price for some vpower at the shell in that place on victoria rd off the motoeway (penrith?)

5. what times everyone getting there?

We be leaving from Abingdon near oxford shortly after 1pm, we think we got most things (a quick shop in the supermarket on friday morning) and a quick wash of the car before i leave to get rid of the flies (might just jetwash it at tescos minus the brush thing). so hopefully we be up there around 5pm.

Anyone taking walkie talkies with them? if so we be on channel 6 listening out and probably screaming for help cos we lost

[Captain Scarlet]

A page or two back in this thread I posted a list of the fuel prices. Was on Sunday I believe, along with directions to get there. If I remember right v power unleaded 123.9.

[Phil-E]

I will have my inverter with me in the car if there isn't a power socket...

1) power points? when camping? lol... there will be a field (probably wet) and some bats, some swallows, and some rather friendly chickens....

2) there is a sort of "shop" in reception, but this is a working farm, very little there, a bar of chocolate maybe best do your shopping at the supermarket....

3) all the usual wash facilities quite close by, toilets/showers ect... dunno if you need 20p's and stuff.....

4) someone answered that....

5) I'll be ther lunchtime friday!

and Col, i may bob down and see you tonight if your there
