We wish to keep the venue secret while stages are being built, we don’t want to lose this great venue with people exploring and looking for the stages on this private estate. We hope you understand, after the event the trails will be closed, your only chance to ride these awesome stages will be at the event. We will announce more as the event draws nearer. If you need to book B&B then anywhere for Grizedale will be fine – Satterthwaite, Newby Bridge, Hawkshead, Ambleside etc
Note we are offering free wild camping on site, and its very scenic too. No facilities, portaloos only but a lovely spot.
And please, if you think you know where it is don’t share your thoughts – we want this to be a great venue for many years.
Big thanks to the dig teams, more info about them later but obviously this is a big project with a large team of builders required.
Thanks
Kev, Mike and the team
