I will be handing out a route card / idiots guide at the start of the day.

 

This will include the route, Exact locations,  Postcodes and approximate mileage/timings which i've kept away from a public forum.

 

This involves approx two 30 minute segments (28 miles in total) followed by a coffee stop,  Then a further 50 minute drive (30 miles) to lunch. 

 

I'll PM those on the list the route card today in case anyone wishes to have a look at the exact route on a map.

 

 

A run out for a few members stopping off for lunch.


Starting at:

10am Sunday 13/04/14

Lakeland Motor Museum
Old Blue Mill
Backbarrow
Ulverston
LA12 8TA

http://www.lakelandm...uk/location.php

Coffee and a bacon sandwich to start off the day if you wish!

Set off 11am

Stop within Grasmere for a coffee LA22 9SJ after around 1 hrs driving.

Finish at the Kirkstone inn around 1pm LA22 9QL following 1 hrs driving.

2- Catnip
3- Glenn
4- Klauster +1
5- RS3KEL
6- Vito
7- Caveman
8- jonniebrads +1
9- Gledsy +3

10- mrAudi

 

The boring bit: 

 

Please remember it's your driving license so drive within your own capabilities whilst remembering this is a public road and not a group race day.

 

Driving in a manner that causes a danger to yourself, members of the public or other AudiRS3OC will not be tolerated.

 

In my previous experience of road trips i've found that giving extra distance between you and the car in front not only reduces stone chips but allows you to enjoy some of the twistys without getting too close. 

 

Timings provided are taken based on travelling at speed limits and we will wait at each check point until each member of the group arrives.

Have a look at the black bull in Coniston, its quite a nice drive too, might be a good idea to ring and get us booked in but it was well priced and some good choices. Might be worth asking if they have a car park though... I walked there last time

Is this the one right on the corner? Near the petrol station

If so there is only a pay and display car park further along the road I think
