Steve J ,Jon and rob. I don't think there over here yet?
-
Yes Emma if other bits include bacon, sausage beans and egg ;D
-
i can get that if everyone else cooks it all
-
i can cook it no probs if the equipment is there.
-
i sall find out for def from miranda i would presum there would be and dave only if your sure as i cant do much at the moment otherwise it would have been a cooked breaki from the start
-
brekki for 40 odd people is no probs (and by odd i do mean odd) ;)
-
haha we are all very odd lol and if you pm me with wat you want me to get that would be good as my head is up my arse 8)
-
Dave, guessing you'll be wanting the services of a certain Sorcerers Apprentice again.
-
Oh yes, must keep the masses happy
-
Steve J ,Jon and rob. I don't think there over here yet?
Its ok Gatecrasher Rob never signed up to the old forum, he has been kept in the loop, so knows the score.
-
Do you want me and Lesley to get a couple of those bricks of bacon as per the other years?
-
yes please that would be a huge help well you have enough dosh?
-
I think there is about 22 rashers per brick,so 3 or 4 bricks?
-
Emma, I seem to recall from our initial conversations about costs pp n that breakfast was not included or am I mistaken?
My recollection was people bring / make there own breakfast, clear up after themselves ready for prompt laning / spa day, not leaving a load of work for some.
" OLLR Xmas Event to be held on Friday 13th December to Sunday 15th Dec.
Price: £45 per person includes digs & evening meal for Friday & Saturday nights
Location: http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/langdale
PM me if interested. "
Sorry for being a misery, but have you checked the budget?
HHH
-
Oh yes, must keep the masses happy
Dave i am happy to help with cooking. If you need a hand
-
yes hhh i have made sure we have enough
-
Good, in that case I'll get some vege breakfast stuff for Simon and myself.
HHH
-
i will have to get up early and start cooking then. Maybe we could do bacon butties to make it quicker and easier if we need out on the lanes early.
-
09:30 SAS for laning
HHH
-
Is there anything we're short of that we need? not really got much to bring with me so can soon get things we need to help with the food :)
-
ok bacon baps for brekie it is and richard if you get four then were safe im sure there wont be any left over and im taking porrige pots aswell for those who want more
-
Do you want us to get the bread cobs? Jacksons who are doing the pies also do bread cobs. If so how many?
-
erm nit sure rich how many did you get last time? do you get two per person or just the one iv no idea lol
-
Are we doing brekkie Sunday morning?
I think last year we got about 150 cobs and there hete loads left over.
-
i think that 90 would be enough dont you thats just over 2pp
-
Will get 90.
Is porridge ect fir Sunday?
-
its for a just incase people dont want a buttie or if they want it aswell as a buttie kinda thing and can do bacon both days if you like
-
No probs.
Will order 90 cobs when we put the pie order in tomorrow.
Will settle up when we get there if that works for you?
-
yep thats fine and thank you again
-
09:30 SAS for laning
HHH
Thats the middle of the night! ;)
-
dont think a few ppl will be awake at that time and nick did you look in wags bit? theres a message inthere about the booking for the spa
-
Okay we'll see, would be a pity to waste the daylight, but we are away n that.
For those interested, we can discuss Friday evening.
I would like a good days laning, but I'm sure we'll need to split into groups anyway.
HHH
-
i think most of ladies are going to the spa so were not bothered lol all the blokes can sort the laning out ob the fruday and be readyto lane at wat ever time its going to be good im getting giddy now
-
Having to split up the laners anyway we can have an early group for the **** off roaders. As HHH sez, not much light this time of year, and as I don't get out that much to get muddy anymore, I would like to make the most of the play area!
-
right if people want to bring a sleeping bag bring it all bedding is there but not sure how cold it will be all so bring towels and the stuff you need. also sweets of any sort are good too ;D oh yes and lots n lots of booze
-
You SHOULD Have a funds transfer from. Us Emma... Well hopefully lol.

If Dave (no not that one!) wants to get up at 0630 to make the bacon butties, we could be laning by 0730! ;D
-
I'm sure we can operate the grill while Dave is in bed :-)
HHH
-
if someone wakes me thats fine.
-
The route I had in mind (which I will send just need to check it over!) would, given the propensity of stoppage and general nattering take up a good portion of a Saturday and finish just a few mins from the Youth Hostel
(and that's normal minutes not racer time ;))
It's getting dark just gone 4pm at the mo and in the valley's things get gloomy by 3.30pm by mid Dec.
That may equate to a good deal of Sat evening type activities!
-
as long as your all back for tea time its all good if not i think youll all be grounded lol :P
-
Top man Phil :)
HHH
-
Any one heading up the A1 crossing the A66? Emma what time can we arrive at the hut.
-
I may be
HHH
edit: Then again A14 M6 would now appear to be the shortest / quickest route
So:
Retford posse what time / day are you leaving?
Rich, Munk's & Tigers what are your plans?
-
Any one heading up the A1 crossing the A66? Emma what time can we arrive at the hut.
We will be. Depending upon what time we can get into the hostel, we will be leaving Lincoln about 10-11 then will take about 3 1/2 - 4 hours from there. Looking forward to the run across Bowes Moor, not been across for a while. :-)
T
-
A few series over Bowes nice might be worth a
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnJEeHND_lQ
-
That's a big 10:4 Pig Pen ;)
-
myself and George dont finish work till 13.00 so it will be around 14.00 before i set off.
-
We're heading up that way on the thursday,due to food transport.
-
We are heading A1/ A66 but going via Otley to avoid the shithole that is Bradford! Lauren finishes work at 2 so we will be heading off about 3. Dave fancy meeting up on the A1 somewhere?
Pete Stevens-with-a-V
-
hi everyone can arrive at 10 onwards my lovilys
-
Great stuff Em, I am not working Fri so can set off whenever (once I have taken the kids to school that is) I think Rob isn't working either. What time you and Luke going up?
-
I'm not working Friday so going speak to nuggs n loz and see what time they wanna head up, I was thinking early to make the most of the day.
Just a note for people heading through Ambleside/Windermere I would fill up with fuel as the is no local fuel station for a fair few miles. If you want to do any food shops then ambleside/Windermere has an Booths but the local shop in Great Langdale has a few essentials and a bloody good tea room but other than that there are no other shops.
There are two pubs in Elterwater and one in Great Langdale and I might be able to get you wags some discount on drinks and food on spa day as well as the pub in great langdale.
Anyone with questions about the immediate area you can ask and ill try and answer as I've spent many weeks there over the years unfortunately at a red woolly hat man but the walks are brilliant.

Speaking of convoys... are CBs a go-go again this year? They can be useful at times!
-
Is there a key under the mat for Friday night ;D
-
How close are the pubs to the hostel?

How close are the pubs to the hostel?
Strang, there are a few within a few miles - the Britannia at Elterwater probably being the closest, and is a great pub. It is probably a few hundred yards from the bottom of the 'drive' to the hostel. There is a great boozer at the head of the valley (the Old Dungeon Ghyll), but this is a few miles up the road. Well worth it though. A lot of the others in the area are very 'touristy' and charge quite a bit the wrong side of £3 for a pint. Not my thing at all.
What I will say, however, is that you better save some room for the ale I am bringing! :P
-
Hi Toby,
I'll sort it out, do you need a twig as well?
Mr.P
-
Hi Toby,

Mr.P
Yes please darling ;)
-

Best remember to bring a pint glass then ;)
-
Yes!
And your fancy whisky tumblers too... you know, just in case.
-
there is no just in case there will be scotch ;D
-
They are always packed when we meet up :)
-
hi steve im hoping to set off around 10 so we are there for about 12 as i dont want to be late as its me thats ment to have organised it and it would be rude to be late so is that any good to you and for everyone that will be chipping in doing the cooking they have a huge kitchen and everything in it as they are used to catering for 100 odd ppl

What he said, I probably won't be drinking, so don't mind being a taxi for those who want to go to the pub and jump in and out of Brenda
yes frequent flyer, every year nearly since i was born with my folks...
-
Cheers for the heads up on pubs Calum - was hoping for somewhere in walking distance, but it looks like Munks has volunteered to chaufer me around!
Talking of expensive pints, at the Adelphi in Leeds on Saturday they were charging an incredible £3.80 for a bog standard 3.8% pint of bitter! >:(
-
I can give a lift to one person back from the pub....... ;D
Spewing will be punished severely!
Speaking of place nearby round the corner and up the pass (fnarr!) at the top of Wrynose is a wee bit of parking near the 3 shires stone.
South West of there (and not a climb to be taken likely) is the giant horseshoe of "Great Carrs".
Which has the crash site and memorial of the Canadian Halifax. One of the Merlin's was recovered relatively recently and now sits at Coniston church. Valley below has littered with the remnants.
Just thought I'd mention it. Dangerous place in bad weather mind!

what time would you like to set off on the friday ste and is rob convoying and any other halifaxian coming with?
-
I am fine with whatever time you want to set off Em. Rob isn't working but may be setting off from his girlfriends in Wetherby. Not sure what Strang and the OVS's are up to yet?
-
luked on about setting off before 9 now so that were nice n early and can make most of the day off. i know nick n ste are setting off off after school finishes so that prob about 4 and were do you wanna meet as not sure wich way its we need head
-
It's a better drive up the A65 through the Dales so we can meet up this side of the shitehole that is Keighley, or better still my house!
-
erm we could meet in keighly as we just go over the hill and were there its only 15mins
-
No probs, but try not to get there too early, your wheels might get nicked while you wait!
-
Steve:- Morrisons petrol station in Keighley at 9.
Can fill up and go from there.
-
could everyone bring a cd or there ipod as all the music i hsve is dsnce trance stuff n dont think everyone likes that
-
Good call emma
-
I have the day off, but the missus won't finish till around 13:00 so it will be around then that I am setting off. Probably heading up through Skipton and that way.....
What about you Steve?
-
I have to drop the kids off at school then I am setting off to meet Luke and Em in Keighley about 9.30ish Mark.
-
Too early for me then Steve - I'll see you there! Get the beers in!
-
Oh the beers will be in!
-
all the music i hsve is dsnce trance stuff n dont think everyone likes that
fine with me

Okay, so below are maps and a gpx file for the suggested route for Saturdays laning.
These should print out quite well in colour on A3 paper for those with such a printer at home / work. If not pack a magnifying glass.
So print out / upload to your smart phone / gps now, as you may be leading a group n that.
Any suggestions / changes could be looked into / done this weekend only.
The pink Landranger maps 96, 97, 89 & 90 cover the Lakes for old skool types / finding Gerry / back-up in case of technological failure.
Memory-map overlay available on request.

Not sure yet; Friday morning some time. Could well be meeting the Munks and Lozza somewhere too. Was going to try and get some times sorted soon.

Okay, so to give me an idea of numbers usual copy n paste your name n stuff for laning options
Please Note: Phil's route is approx. 63 miles in a figure of eight (in 6 hours) and the shortest day of the year is only a week later, so we're looking at sunrise at 08:00 SAS and sunset at 15:45 SAS.
So with the obligatory stops for talking bollocks, breakdowns, laning issues and 1 hour (ish) lunch we'll need to crack on. whoo

Earlier one for me please!
I have just got back from the Lakes, and called in at High Close on my way back South... lane up there is tighter than I remember on one of the bends - any of you with 109"s will have fun as I only just swung the 88" round it in one go. You can approach it from two directions, but only coming from the Elterwater direction could I see an entrance to the main car park? Might be wrong though on that one. Impressive place!
Also useful to note (especially those arriving under cover of darkness) is that it is not signposted from the road into Langdale - turn right at the signpost for "P for Elterwater". Also approaching from this direction the gateway into the hostel itself doesn't seem to have a YHA symbol on it either... as you come up the hill you'll come to a cattle grid, and almost immediately after crossing it the entrance to the hostel will be on the right hand side, with tall walls either side of the gate. There's a National Trust "High Close" sign too.
-
I hate to ask this but is anyone red-socking whilst on the do?
-
I think people will be seeing how bad the hangovers are for walking
-
Well I'll give you one guess as to why I was up in the Lakes this weekend, Devs... *whistles*
Bring yer boots.. I might well be up for something on the Sunday, if there's no laning planned?
-
Might be up for a wander on Sunday morning to clear the head :)

This talk of red-socking. Feels almost social deviancy to discuss such on here doesn’t it. 5xif

I could be wrong but I think I put some info relating to that crash site on this very thread a few pages ago? Its a short climb SW of the three whites stone at the top of Wrynose.

Mrs Strang wants to know if we need to bring bedding? I think its a yes for sleeping bags, but owt else?

for those M6 bound - come off at kendal - north A6 and come over the breast high road(OS90 U3278) - rejoin at tebay services via back roads - look at map for how to get in services south - bit steep in places but great views - was re-surfaced but has been washed out a bit
for M6 north traffic come back over A6 and after the top of shap summit layby turn in right (through gate) also signposted and follow the A6 parallel on this lane for a couple of miles (scenic but easy going) you could rejoin at jn 39 - or....
also A6 north - after shap village centre turn left towards bampton and then turn right on U3173 which takes you back towards the A6 and shap quarry - easy going and solid underneath - does get flooded in places but passable - gates and a gated level crossing
for those comming back accross the A66 the old coach road - obvious - but turn off for newbiggin before you get to penrith and turn right after the phone box and head down there U3480 at the fork turn hard right and follow the lane through - bit tight and overgrown but a good lane - follow back round and back to A66
there you are - just a few ideas for 'a bit on the way home' whoo
