Lake District - NW Run - 13 March 2016

[Lakelad]

This years Lake District run will take place on Sunday 13th March 2016

The starting point is Burton Services between Junction 35 and 36 northbound on the M6. We will depart from here promptly at 10.00.

For those travelling north up the M6 please meet Gary (MK1 Dal) at Charnock Richard Services M6 just north of Junction 27 at 09.00 and travel together to Burton services.

I will be at Burton Services from 09.30 to meet everybody. Anyone requiring any other meeting point or more specific information about the route or any other additional details please message me directly.

This is a full days run but we will be stopping for a coffee in the morning, a lunch stop in Keswick for an hour before the second leg in the afternoon and we will finish up in Bowness On Windermere at about 4pm.

It will be a different route this year to avoid road closures caused by the recent floods but we should have a great day.

Please put your name down - as usual we have a limit of 12 cars.

Hi Graham, really sorry I do not have my car back from the garage. The engine is being rebuild which is finished but still no MOT. Also it would need running in. So sorry I got to pull out.

[Lakelad]

Hi Imran - No problem - just picked mine up from the garage this afternoon and it has been give a clean bill of health (at least for the time being)! Hope you can join us again soon.

One place left for Sunday if anyone wants to join the fun!

We'll make sure we're there before 0930.

[Gilles27]

I've just done a bit of Googling. The postcode for Charnock Richard Services where you can meet Gary (MK1 Dal) at 09:00 is PR7 5LR.
The postcode for Burton-in-Kendal Services where everyone else is meeting at 09:30 is LA6 1JF.

I'll be at Charnock at 09:00

Looking forward to it!

[BIGBOYZJUNK]
