wiggleit Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) CANCELLEDInsired by a few of you planning rideouts for next year.............talk about wishing my life away!! Would be good to get some feedback on my little proposition..My other half lives just south of Carlisle, LOADS of room for camping, huge party 'shed', bar etc If anyone fancies the trip up (down or sideways) for an overnight here n a bit of a party Would then be an excellent base for N Lakes / Borders.Or even across border n maybe up to Glencoe - superb, bike-friendly campsite with fantastic pub at top of Glencoe.What do you think???????Would be more than happy to play 'host' - (not discussed this with 'him' yet but I have my ways of persuasion )Could be an overnight or a full weekend and a good way for those of you, just that bit too far away, to sample True North.Anybody interested???PS...Frankie, if this takes off .........could do with a wee bit o help PPS......Of course any mebers form north of border (do we have any????) also welcome Edited April 19, 2010 by wiggleit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
