Off up to Windermere (Cumbria) with the BWSOW later this morning.
Hoping to do a few lanes whilst SWMBO stays at the 'Shed'

It ought to be a nice run up the A65 & seeing what's going off at the Land Rover Experience at Coniston Hall.

Back Tuesday... 8)

Thanks, but I've just read it in 'Lakeland Plastics' in Windermere, as they've got free internet access for customers.

Not bad weather up here at the moment :)

Hi Richard - hope you had a good one.
We were supposed to be going to the Lakes with Red Rose LRC for Easter but Rebecca (aet 5 years) had her tonsils out last thursday.
Mind you, we must breed 'em tuff in our family; 10 mins after arriving back on the ward she demanded a drink. 15 minutes - a wee. 20 minutes - lunch. Nurse came and pulled the curtains round as she was tucking into pizza and chips within 35 minutes of being back and the other kids were still NBM :wink:
Only wimpered when they took the veflon out.

Still, couldn't really justify her (not) sleeping in a tent and being thrown around in the Disco. Went to Formby today to feed the squirrels and walk on the beech instead.

Both kids are still cross with us for not going landying... :roll:
cheers! 8)

Not good Tina, we had the trials & tribulations the other week when 'small-child' broke her Humerous.

Just got back about 13:30, after a steady trip back. We came down the A65 (Settle, Skipton), then through Keighley & Bradford.
Still bet the in-laws back here even though they were solo (they went via Ilkley, Otley & Leeds), it was the same going - we  arrived an hour before them!!

Nice camp-site, access road was a b*gger, and some people definately have too much money to spend!!

I've named the majority of the photos, but not all. I hope to upload them to the prepared albums on the 'WebShots' later this evening.

But here's a taster.

Yes it wasn't bad Andy.
I managed to do 2 things that I promised myself last time I was there
1. Visit 'Cars Of The Stars' museum. Loads in there. Listed below.
2. Visit Donald Campbells memorial & grave at Coniston


The campsite photo was taken from here looking towards the adjacently marked 'camping' symbol.
We're on the top row & the first fully visible outfit with a silver shape (Focus) & the Discovery just visible


'The Cars Of The Stars Museum'. All are original studio/production vehicles, included;
Batmobile (original TV & 'the 'B-M Returns')
Flintstone car
Ford Torino ('Starsky & Hutch')
Aston Martin DB5 ('Goldeneye')
FAB 1 (the promotional one built on a Bedford 'Chinese 6' chassis)
KITT (KnightRider)
Police Interceptor (Mad Max 1)
A-Team van
Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang
Captain America chopper (Easy Rider)

And my favourite & the one I wanted to take home (well that, or the Mad Max :D )

A genuine Warner Brothers 'General Lee'. A bl**dy huge great orange beast!!

Just managed to get the 'WebShots' updated with 2 albums from the weekend, just about here

Note the 'BlueBird K7 in relief at the top of the gravestone.
