Hi Guys,

I fancied going for a drive round the Lakes over Easter. The MR2OC fancied going for a drive round the lakes over Easter. The Roadster Oweners Club fancied going for a drive round the lakes over Easter.

So to make it more fun, we're all going to go together.

So, I'm also extending the invite to all my Mk1 friends over here too.

If anyone wants to come, the plan can be found here

The route is 174 miles start to finish and takes in both Wrynose and Hardknott passes.

We aim to start at Devils Bridge (Kirkby Lonsdale) at 10:00.

I'm not very good at organising stuff, so I guess, if you wanna come, just turn up at the start point and look for the MR2s :)

If you have a Walkie Talkie then we're usually on channel 2 just to keep in touch and make sure no one gets lost/left behind.

Should be awesome! Looks like you're taking some awesome roads!! :)

Sadly too far for me to travel, else I'd be there!

Sorry I can't make it on Friday - i'm afraid not every business stops for a wedding!

The route tooks good - be careful on the mountain passes - the road surfaces are shot to bits after two very harsh winters.
