Riding.
From a base near Hellvelyn there is loads of riding which involves getting to the Summit of Hellvelyn and some awesome down hill decents.

As I have already said on the other forum, If my friend can drive by then we will both be there!

This looks good, I've only been riding 6 months but this will really give me something to aim for.
The dates are good so I'm up for it, I'll be coming up from Bedfordshire in a 7 seater so I could offer a few lifts.

[Lofty1wheel]

Ok the booking forms are here as you might be aware there are only 16 beds in Bell Cottage so the first 16 people will get a bed in the cottage.
For anyone that is unlucky and misses out on a bed, Glenridding YHA is right next door to Bell Cottage but you will have to book yourself a bed.

Please Print of a Form and send them back ASAP

Are there still spaces available at the cottage?
If so, consider me more than interested. If there's a space then I'll have a booking form and cheque in the post asap.

[Lofty1wheel]

We still have loads of space and would like people to send in booking forms asap.
If i dont get at least 10 people for the cottage I will have to look at cancelling as i wont be able to afford the cottage.

[Rob Northcott]

Hi Pete,
Sorry to keep dragging it out... I should be able to tell you one way or another by the end of this week. I really want to make it, but getting there and getting time off work is proving to be a bit of a pain in the arse.

Rob

[ryan]

hope fully i can make it , sounds fun

[Rob Northcott]

Bummer - the boss isn't happy with me having more time off so soon after Sleepless, so I'm going to have to say I won't me able to make it Pete. When is somebody going to invent that teleport so I can just nip up there for the ride?

Shame - I've only been to Cumbria once - quick bike tour of the lakes and silly hills (Hardknot, Wrynose etc).

Hope it goes well. I'll see you at Mayhem anyway.

Rob

If I am in the country I will come along; I am trying to get seasonal jobs abroad for the summer which could be short notice. I am unlikely to know if I can come untill much nearer the time so hence cannot give you a booking form yet.
