Hi Algore

I have found one of the two places we stayed, try this

http://www.meadowcroft-guesthouse.com/

really nice place to stay with a great pub 1 mins walk away, the only issue is it’s 2/3 miles out of windermere.

I cant find the other b & b we stayed at which was in the heart of windermere.

give me a minute, I am tring to find the one we stayed at

Lakes is perfect, its a really nice place with loads to do and some greats pubs for food

Me and the misses went to fort bill a couple of years ago for our wedding anniversary, we had a brill time. we stayed at the Clann McDuff hotel, very nice :D

Take newspaper to stuff your wet shoes with.

Nappies work better for obverse reasons.

Looks very much like mine. Apart from I am currently packing my entire wardrobe.

I am taking all my mtb cloths, 2 helmets, 4 shoes. It’s all a bit OTT, but you never know.

Is there going to be drinking water on site or do we need to bring our own ?

Good question, I dont know but in the early hours of the morning, I want water to hand for cooking, drinking etc

any kind of temp work you can leave whenever you want!!

Is the Thomas the Tank Engine pillow yours – or is your son coming with you?

No, I have borrowed it of my son, it’s for good luck

I am 5ft 11 and the bike above is a medium

Did you remember the TUC cheese biscuits?

I didn’t, but now you’ve said i might go and buy some

You have to agree it’s a nice bike

I spy Super Why.

Correct!

I bought the Giant defy 3, and it’s brill, I have upgrade the wheels to mavic,

Are you going to get it from All Terrain, there very good at doing deals if you talk to the right person (Ben)

Thought someone might say that, cant bring the bike into the house, plus it’s top secret. ha ha

My final tyre chose is Nobby nics and panaracer razors
