Was gonna set off tonight and spend a coin at the iron bridge Carlisle but it’s heeking it down here so gonna leave just after the morning rush. Plan is to pass Steve on the rd round the lake and get a better pitch than him . Arrive about 2ish

And you did, Willy, and you did ... . But, as I told you, you need me as a benchmark, so I do have my uses ...

Jeff…..I have had to turn round and come home, the van was booked in last week to be supposedly fixed but this morning I got about 4 mile from home and it started again, same problem…..too far to travel worrying if this is the run where it pegs it and I get brought home on a tow truck…..sorry to miss the meet…..gggrrrrrrrr

Hi All, does anybody fancy a nature walk round the lake on Saturday morning ! I’m not a professional but an amateur , I can identify and describe quite a few plants trees birds, Janet and I will leave the car park at 0930 , it will just be thru the nature side of the lake and finish at the beach pub where you can stop for coffee or just walk back , this morning we’ve seen some species we don’t get in the fens of Cambridgeshire it might interest a few of you ,
Bring binoculars if you have them

Massive apologies for not making this meet. I only live 2 miles away and I have no excuse. Hope you all had a good 'un even though weather was a bit iffy. See you all next time xx

Many thanks to everyone on our first meet. You were all so friendly and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately the weather forcast was not very good for last night and this morning, we were going home today anyway, and with 2 pre teens to keep occupied, we decided to cut it short and go home yesterday. We will certainly be meeting up with you all again in the future and continue our adventures. Once again a great big thank you from Kylie, Scott and the kids.
