BBQ, beer and camping on the banks of Ullswater

Weekend camping plus a long Saturday afternoon drive over the Cumbrian mountain passs

The drive takes in Honister, Hardknott, Wrynose and Kirkstone Passes and many miles of curly country lanes.

A camping field has been set aside for us and includes toilets, showers and pot washing facilities. If you get tired of BBQ and fancy a run out for food etc. the site is within a mile of Pooley Bridge, drive or walk along the lakeside. The campsite will be available from Friday 9th June.

Joining details
No requirement to book, just turn up and pay at the campsite bungalow. (before pitching your tent)

Campsite fees are between £10 & £12/night depending on the size of your tent, pets welcome.

Location
Dunroamin Cross
Dormont,
Howtown,
Penrith,

I'll hand out maps and directions for the Saturday afternoon mountain pass drive if you want to join the run across these excellent drivers' roads. Make sure you have enough fuel; there are no fuel stops along the way.

Go on; call in sick. I'm sure after Tom's fed you a few bottles of port you will be sick anyway so it wouldn't be too much of a lie, more a prediction.

We did this last year and had a whale of a time. Plenty of beer, a few disposable BBQ's and food, a tent and good company. What more could one ask.

Damn it why couldn't it have been July/August/Sept - free pretty much any time then! Damn June. Not sure I can change these shifts on the grounds that I want to spend the weekend camping with a load of men I met off the internet

can you not swop shifts around with people, or doesn't it work like that?

[Lois]

Normally I'd try but with it being my rota'd nights i'm not sure it would be so easy. I'd have to come up with a pretty good excuse!!

[froggie]

Sounds good to me,

[Lois]

I tried hinting at changing my shifts and my mentor said we'd have a look but got whisked to theatre and she's off til next week now
