Max is kindly looking after the Saturday drive out and has a couple of routes under consideration.
How many people are up for this. Bear in mind that its the summer silly season so the central lakes will be very busy. Its an option too use the east of the M6 as this wont be as bad.
Comments.
There are plenty of other things to do such as this.
As per discussions on the other 'alternatives' thread - we may be able to do a group outing (a la Harry Potter Hoon outing ).
This would be on the Saturday in the afternoon - Steam Railway in one direction, Lake Cruise in the other finishing with the Lakes Car Museum - approx £13 per head.

Just returned from the Lakes after a good weekend at the 'Meet' and also spending time in Martin's two 'locals'. My wife and I found Cark in Cartmel a very picturesque and welcoming place.
As usual I enjoyed meeting some new faces including Jonathan with his Samuri and a Scottish guy with his 260 2+2.
Unfortunately we were let down by the weather and too many 'no showers'. I wonder how many on the list didn't turn up?
But a good event in a beautiful part of the country
I really enjoyed the weekend, despite the weather which was particularly bad on Saturday.
Great to put faces to names at last. The 350Z guys turned out in force, shame we didn't get a few more of the older cars but a great start for a fledgling event.
