Hi
plan would be to do canal/railway to Glasson as a bimble about, and round town.
After a cheapish hotel with parking (that's ok for bikes in car)and near facilities and any food recommendations.
Thanks
Gus - it might be worth asking at the Uni, they used to let out rooms in the holidays when my son went there.

Anything else you need to know, addy in profile!
B+B at The Sun Hotel is good, don't know about parking though. This place is fairly nice but I've only been in for a drink - http://www.pennystreetbridge-hotel.co.uk/ - right next to the canal
edit: beaten to it!
Mung Mee by the bus station does nice Thai food - Golden Dragon by the police station for nice Chinese. This place is very good - http://www.bistro26.co.uk/
There is a decent pub in Glasson too - the Dalton Arms. The Stork at Conder Green just a little way towards town is nice too. If you go to Glasson visit the smokehouse shop - superb stuff from there.
Was going to reccomend contacting you,too, grum! Should we rope in SFB? 🙂
Good call, cg! University tends to be fairly well booked by families wanting 'cheapish' accommodation with access to The Lakes.
Sorry, gus, I forgot to say if you want some guidance/company, give us a shout!
Many thanks Guys (and Gals)
will drop you a mail some time.
Cheers
Gus
