Havard Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) *Edit - Weekend of the 4th July - Dent, Cumbria..!!* Hi, Been thinking about this since I went up to Sedbergh and on to Carlisle via some of the back roads the other week. My initial plan is for the North West lot to come up to Kirkby Lonsdale/Sedbergh on the Friday night and visit a camp site (possibly in Sedbergh). On Saturday......leave Sedbergh and make our way accross country to Gardsale on the A684 and then go north up to Kirkby Stephen. This road is terrific as it is along side the railway and also the river so there are some great photo opportunities. Leaving Kirkby Stephen we would then go along the A66 and meet any Yorkshire/North East members near Scotch Corner. If there were any local drives that people knew about then that would be good but the drive back towards Sedbegh through Richmond, Leyburn and Hawes back on the A684 would be good enough...... The plan is to then go over the top of the hills to Dent and possibly have a bite to eat at Jackies cafe in Dent and then back to the camp site, ditch the cars and go into Sedbergh for a few pints or have a few on the camp site..!! What does everyone think?? I plan to get some prices/availability for the camp sites but numbers of members would dictate if the site I am thinking of is big enough. Also I would need some details of pubs/meeting places near Scotch Corner as I don't know the area particularly well. H.

_Lynz_ Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'd definitley be up for this as I love it round there and it would be great to have a big northern meet. I'm fine with camping as long as we wait until it gets a lot warmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
