Are the red dots on the map pubs? one half way round and one at the end. If so then the sunday ride is short of a pub which is not acceptable

Sorry Dane
1 Red Dot is Bell Cottage and the other is the Summit of Helvellyn

Fair enough mate, I wouldn't want to travel from Scotland to England either...what a trek!

Firsty; it is 145 miles as the crow flies which is 207.1 miles by road, which in a car is 3 hours 46 minutes.
Secondly; I have to work 6 days a week so getting the time off is unlikely.
Thirdly; I have no transport.

The job is not what I expected hence I am leaving on 10/8/2009 so depending on logistics may be able to attend this event.

Are there any beds left?

I should be able to get to one of these stations, more likely Penrith.
I will have a lot of stuff with me: 2 large bags and a bicycle, would these fit in the car picking me up?

splodge wrote:I'll be coming up from Bedfordshire in a 7 seater so I could offer a few lifts.
Where in Bedfordshire do you live? Would anyone be able to give me a lift home or near home with my masses of kit? Edd, Leo, AJ or Splodge?

Lastly my unicycle is at home, not with me here in Scotland, so that would have to be transported separately. My dad could drop it off at Sam's house, I think Sam is going with Leo or Edd, would there be space for my unicycle?

That is rubbish.

I was hoping to come directly from my brothers place in Edinburgh, but I could come home to collect my unicycle then get a lift up with Splodge, if there are still beds left?
