GarethNW Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 The address is:Bridge End FarmThirlmereKeswickCumbria CA12 4TGhttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=c ... 21887&z=16if you come via the Lakes, and Grasmere, up Dunmail Raise (bloody big hill), short dual carriageway, then take the first left, you travel down the inside of Thirlmere, which is a nice run.. at the junction take the right (you will be at the end of the reservoir) and go over the Dam, towards the A591, campsite is before you get to the main road.alternative, stay on A591, ride down the side of the reservoir, past the car park before heading down hill past the Travellers Rest pub, take the first left and into the camp site. Do you remember reading that when WF posted it? you spoke to me about it on the phone saying how kind WF had been adding some easy to understand directions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 ohh Travellers rest is t'other side of Dunmail Raise (Grasmere side), the start, Kings Head is the one i meant.. if you reach the dual carriageway going to Keswick you've gone too far..Straight on at the Threlkeld Junction.First left, before dual carriageway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well then.... I gotta say... Another superb weekend!!Where to start...? I suppose it is only fair to show the state some people get into And I do believe that GarethNW now, without doubt, is holder of the TMBF Hangover Crown. I bow to his eminence !! Some proof .... Asleep.. in the car so he was closer to the 'great white telephone'http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/mysafpics123/TMBF%20Thirlmere%202010/CIMG1318.jpgHis words were ... "You git..."http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/mysafpics123/TMBF%20Thirlmere%202010/CIMG1319.jpgAnd the trudge up the 'slope'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ujA7rRDFq8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
