I have left out both Derwentwater and Ullswater as visiting these lakes means a lot more mileage and I think coniston and winermere are more scenic and have better roads anyway. Still havent found a decent place for a barbie but there will be one somewhere on route. I will bring mine which is quite small so if we could get a couple more that would be great, or we could just find a decent pub and grab a bite there. Feel free to add on to this route as you see fit. Lets aim to get a finalised one up by Monday. Cheers

A5092 as there's no A5902, and to cut down the A5084 (alongside Coniston Water) rather than to continue all the way down the A593 ???

Hope I got this right, I assume you mean
It'll only matter that the one in front knows where they're going anyway
Multimap is pants, so here's Google Maps
Or follow the pink road here:

- better than a 36 mile trip!
All we need now is a meeting place.

***RIP Car13 ****** Now in an Evo ***blue2 wrote:Cheers for the maps! The route looks exellent.
really looking forward to this!! =D> Er who's cooking by the way ? However you cant access it from the southbound carrigway, you have to exit at junc 35 and get on the northbound section and exit there, its pretty straight forward though. I think this used to be a roadchef and has recently changed hands. It seems to be the closest and easiest one to the lake district so is this ok for everyone for a meeting place?? 
As for the designated bbq chef, Im bringing my mate who enjoys nothing more than taking charge over bbq's so im sure he will be glad to handle most of the cooking! My cars a bit different to an MR2 though......yeah Its J-Tuner at Crail that weekend, I'm gonna have to pull out for now, I had this arranged with friends ages ago. blue2 tubby_tony - Possibly Newby Bridge, more than likely Washington, Tyne & Wear Pete - maybe Toyota-james - maybe MRV6 - Co Durham mr2_craig RedMR² Dale_V - Pontefract, West Yorkshire Sweete Icsunonove -mmmh, tempted, need to sort out dire fuel consumption problem first and I 'll be coming from Derby!
