Hi JayeR
You are correct in all you say biggrincool I am staying in the Ainsley Top Premier Inn the night before as I live in Teesside.
Leaving each day around 10am should leave enough time to get to the start carpark from any hotel/BnB you are in say a 20mile radius.

I have also booked into the Premier Inn Penrith for nights 6 and 7th May.

For anyone starting in the west, there will be another start point close to Burnley, just off the M65
