GarethNW Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The plan for the weekend is to arrive Friday at the camp site situated just outside Keswick where we will pitch up our tents, (numbers is not an issue) there is a mass of space for tents. There is also a very secure area to park bikes and cars which will be in our Line of Sight whilst camping. This is one of the few campsites where you can have a proper stone fire on the floor and it has a very relaxed and chilled atmosphere. I will be cooking for everyone who comes and making sure your basic needs are covered. (I said basic!)The campsite has very good showers and toilet facilities which are cleaned every morning.There is a nice stream that will run through our camping area where we can keep beer and drinks COLD!I have a nice route for a ride out on the Saturday and Keswick town itself is only 10 mins away and worth a look.Saturday night more camping around a fire.Hope you can make it folksSome pics from last year <----------- The address is:Bridge End FarmThirlmereKeswickCumbria CA12 4TGif 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.

TC Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Talking to Gareth he said if we chip in for food about £5-7 a day (i think). He said he'll cook the food, a Bacon buttie in the morning and a pot mess/chilli in the evening, this will save us from carrying food and cooking gear on the bikes.We can get some chips or whatever in the daytime and you provide your own drinks.He's going to work out a cost and then put it to everyone that wants to join in. Or if you like you can cook yoour own scran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
