200 spots available I think around 70 have gone already

My favourite descent off Helvellyn is Seldom rarely see any walkers on it, never been down on my own so can understand the consequences you talk about :-) I,m ok with exposure on my left, I struggle with it on my right due to poor sight in my left eye :-)

Second the Stooge such a comfy ride for a rigid.

I did take mine out once I fitted the forks as they are quite weighty I have not died yet!!!

yes i have one on my forks!

To have a fairly comfortable day 2 I would be looking at around Boot area the 70 in a oner will be a tough ask be very doable :-) the first 35 miles its pretty easy going

Endura waterproof shorts probably ok if you ride a couple of times a month but for a ride all weathers type of rider and often they are just so over priced for what they are. Returned and offered a refund which I took and bough some Gore we will see how these fair!

Frames down in price to £749 trying to be good and not buy no long term reviews as yet!

Cheers for the info guys looking forward to the trip and the weather looks good :-)

More bike packing Pics is a must Spaniard Climber I,m just outside the Lake District NP

Hi Peter long time no see hoping to have a few different adventures abroad this year :-)

No charge for parking in Staveley Millyard its permit only from 9am till 5pm for workers and customers(you get a frog permit from which ever business you are going to be in if its for over 2 hours) but I can you tell you that not one person is checking!! But saying that I would not park there during the day as the level of driving is pretty bad with lots of 70 (age) plus people parking up to go to Wilfs and I,ve seen lots of bumps which included someone reversing into my 2 week old works VW Caddy :-(. Its a free for all at the weekend the permits are not used or issued. Please do not park outside residents houses!!! Personally I would park up at the weir next to Barley Bridge

Thanks people if anyone fancies a drink whilst wife and daughter do the Potter tour for a couple of hours let me know :-)

must admit the xmas market was not the draw just getting away somewhere different!!! daughter is a Harry Potter fan so will check out the cemetery. Leith is great but not fancying the travel!!

Just found the Voodoo Rooms which looks just the job anymore

DPD for the win never had an issue with them . Hermes and Yodel use individuals who drive round in cars rammed to the hilt with parcels so much so they can not see clearly out of their passenger window. They will just leave the parcels anywhere even in sight of people walking past. Wife has had a couple of parcels go missing with hermes. Royal Mail are up against it with their hands tied behind their backs with the USO and having to deliver the competitors mail their technology is finally getter better with their Tracked 24/48 service very good.

Cheers saved £4 but spent an extra £10 on  a litre of fenwicks and a tubeless tyre repair kit!!!
