mamark301   on 23/08/10 @ 13:20

Cheers Mark, Im being a wee bit lazy here and not bothering to look at the top of the thread, a little ironic I know, being as Im on an activity site. But are the walks still based around Keswick? Anyway, Thats where I'll just look for campsites.

CaCatrine   on 23/08/10 @ 14:14

downtoearth65   on 26/08/10 @ 9:24

I'm new to this site as well and it looks good so far. this is unexpected where someone just come up with an idea for a venue and then people show interest, but it sounds a good way of meeting others from the forum or just meeting up for the first time. I'll keep a note of the dates so thanks Mark for the idea.

kekevino   on 26/08/10 @ 9:37

Hi all its nice to see there is grate interest in the walks in oct.
Well all going to plan, all three walks are esay going as it as to be fear for all and it be one were we all can chat get to no one and all. i be letting you all no the times and set off places for all three walks. as for acomadtion, there is a good hostel in Keswick, and loads off camp sites around as well. Seeing not every one doing all the three walks . To me if every one makes the own acomadtion arangments, then thats best for all. But the main thing after all the walks we all meat in a pub have a few!!!!!!! drinks and bite to eat and enjoy one's company.
I post more ifo soon, and see you all soon.

mamark301   on 26/08/10 @ 11:23

Thank you both for the friendly welcome. Yes, he is partial to one or two - cool, muddy water is his favourite! After a long walk he's quite happy sleeping in the car. Do you usually start and end at the same place?

cocoolsummerbreeze64   on 28/08/10 @ 3:34

Hi Down to earth and Lost again. I'll be driving up late Friday and hopefully meet up if people are about? Im taking my campervan up and camping 6 miles away from Keswick. The camp sites were all booked any nearer due to it being half term.

kekevino   on 01/09/10 @ 7:29

Can any 1 tell me where we meet ? So i can find near by site 4 my caravan

ararizona1   on 01/09/10 @ 15:32

Hi LA, just looked at reviews on Denton House - doesn't look good ? Just a suggestion but the YHA in Keswick (minutes from town centre) looks good and is 4 star? Anyways will go with the flow and agree with others that would be best to be all 'togever'. :0) GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 01/09/10 @ 16:01

I am happy to go with the flow, if camping, to camp on same site please....

frfrandalli   on 01/09/10 @ 19:25

Hi all if your around on friday we could meat in the dog and gun on the main street. Food good and drink good.

downtoearth65   on 02/09/10 @ 14:26

Hi it only a pub, but there is a hostel in Keswick,and loads off b/bs.

mamark301   on 02/09/10 @ 15:05

a friend of mine is interested as well but might not beable to make it until sat any idea what time the walk will be starting

downtoearth65   on 02/09/10 @ 15:17

Sorry Im late with my reply, Ive booked on the
Troutbeck Camping and Caravanning Club Site, Hutton Moor End, Troutbeck, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 0SX. Its 6 miles away from Keswick, it was the nearest I could get for my campervan. (It will be on the Friday late till Saturday)

CaCatrine   on 02/09/10 @ 16:06

Is anyone interested in booking a dorm at the YHA in Keswick? GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 02/09/10 @ 16:16

If I come I would have booked in at the YHA (use them a lot) but I still can't plan that far ahead. However it's only a loss of 10% if you cancel so I may book in anyway and be done with it.

SJSJS   on 02/09/10 @ 16:31

Im not sure, but they did ask for my membership number. It would be great to see another vw.

CaCatrine   on 02/09/10 @ 17:13

glowing cheeks have just sent you an email would be great to stay in the same place as others lookforward to your reply

downtoearth65   on 02/09/10 @ 17:13

Hi GC and downtoearth65 have you booked in at the YHA at Keswick only I would be interested in joining you, thanks

JaJackie55   on 02/09/10 @ 17:22

Hi all, I have booked a 6 bed dorm at the Keswick YHA (0845 3719746) for Fri/Sat nights (22/23-10). If you want to book in the same dorm (M/F) then quote ref: 22391. You will have to pay on booking. Am intending to walk Sunday too but travel back that night. Looking forward to it
:0)GC

on 03/09/10 @ 7:01

Yeah sure, first come first serve as they say. Give them a ring :0)GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 03/09/10 @ 8:18

Half term dates ok so count me in also, GC do you mind me trying to get into dorm at YHA as well? Not a problem to camp or B&B either.

RRourky  on 03/09/10 @ 17:26

Rourky no probs - more the merrier! GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 04/09/10 @ 2:46

thanks GC will ring them later today

on 04/09/10 @ 6:57

hey just booked spoke to a very nice guy who knew all about the booking and was very helpful thanks again

downtoearth65   on 04/09/10 @ 7:09

cheers GC will get onto it asap

RRourky  on 04/09/10 @ 12:50

Hi I fancy the YHA too but what if the dorm is full? do we fill another dorm or just go in with other groups? I have never stayed in one before. Also anyone know aqbout parking at this hostel??

frfrandalli   on 05/09/10 @ 18:58

Hi Frandalli if the dorm is full you can reserve another dorm (3, 5 or 6 beds). Maybe just reserve a 3 bed and post on forum for any takers. The YHA advised that there is a 2hr disc parking for dropping kit off etc (though free between 6pm-8.00am) and then it is a case of parking around the streets or there is a free car park about 200 yards away. Hope this helps. GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 06/09/10 @ 5:27

hi everyone. thanks Catrine for your reply (and apologies for my slow response). I'm quite going on the idea of the YHA though (I think my membership is still ok, though havent used them for a while). (GC, thanks for the idea ).I'll ring them later and see if theres any room (hope thats oK).I'll reply in this thread and say how its going. kev

kekevino   on 06/09/10 @ 7:18

Thanks GC for that, I notice that Kevino mentions being a member, am I missing something here? can only emers use the YHA? thanks frandalli

frfrandalli   on 06/09/10 @ 12:57

Hi jules69, when I booked the 6 bed dorm I just reserved the dorm and paid for myself and then just post it on forum for people to phone and book/pay for the accomm against your booking reference. If your a member its £44 for 2 nights £50 for non-members. GC

on 06/09/10 @ 14:17

Hi all, there is still 1 bed left in the 6 bed dorm against booking ref: 22391 (see above on thread) in the YHA if anyone wants it. GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 06/09/10 @ 16:06

I would love to make it up there to meet you all just not sure whether I can do that weekend yet.

mgmacc_girl   on 07/09/10 @ 14:37

Hope you can mg

mamark301   on 07/09/10 @ 16:02

GC et al...Just made the booking in the dorm at Keswick YHA for the Friday and Saturday nights...hope thats ok (dont know if that fills the dorm though; just looking at your last message of 06/09) kev

kekevino   on 08/09/10 @ 7:34

Hi Kevino, great you've booked and 'yes' the dorm is full now though, there are more available should anyone else want to book in. :0) GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 08/09/10 @ 14:26

Hi edd, I'm still trying to sort my shifts out but if I can make it will be camping.

WrWren  on 09/09/10 @ 10:25

Hi all, eventually managed to book into YHA from Fri to Mon, looking forward to meeting up. Bonus they do B&B, now I didn't know that!

RRourky  on 09/09/10 @ 10:29

ali-bach  on 09/09/10 @ 10:31

mamark301   on 10/09/10 @ 14:36

cheers mark301 that sound great, after the drive up i'll be glad of a sherbert or two. Dont know what time i'll get in though.

RRourky  on 10/09/10 @ 17:51

As i am new to the site weekend in the lakes sounds great, would be a good opportunity to meet some new people. Where is everyone staying? I would be up for camping but YHA or B&B sounds better. Any rooms left in the dorms...Let me know. Cheers

ADAlly & Dave   on 12/09/10 @ 17:51

Hi Allybongo, I believe the 6 dorm is full now but I know of about 8 people booked into the YHA. Also there are quite a few camping but I don't know where. If you want the YHA the details are Keswick YHA (0845 3719746). Try and speak with 'John' at the YHA as he has his head screwed on! and quote ref: 22391 I believe he has set up an overflow dorm!. You will have to pay on booking. Hope that helps. GC

GCGlowing Cheeks   on 13/09/10 @ 10:52

Thanks glowing cheeks, just checked availability for them dates and YHA appears to be full now. Will sort something else out, have stayed at Denton House before..its actually ok but just a bit basic so might try there..thanks anyway.

on 13/09/10 @ 15:42

If anyone is struggling for accomodation i have just booked into Denton House. They have vacancies for that weekend and its cheap and only need to pay deposit. I was going to camp but almost got washed away last time i pitched up in keswick.. look forward to meeting everyone nearer the time.

ADAlly & Dave   on 13/09/10 @ 16:06

UJUltreia (Jo & Alan)   on 20/09/10 @ 19:02

Anyone still going to around on Tues & Weds? As I've not been in the Lakes since my A Levels many moons ago. I fancy doing Scafel Pike & Helvelyn via Striding Edge on those two days while up there. If anyone fancies a stroll with me feel free.

RRourky  on 13/10/10 @ 15:11

Well that be after the walks or before Rourky

mamark301   on 13/10/10 @ 15:55

Any chance we can take this thread to the invite section as I would imagine people are constantly scrolling down this page for updates etc.

Hi All
Well a run down on the week end walk in the lakes
I will have my van parked on the Central Car Park,
It is behind the, main street. The parking for 10 hrs
Well be £6, but if you got anything that needs looking after I don’t mind it can stay in the van tell later.
The walks for each day well set off from the car park at 9.30 am, so hope that’s ok for all.
Saturday walk is about 12/14 miles, and it is called
High Rigg & St Johns in the Vale
Sunday walk is about 13/14 miles, and it is called
Catbells & Newlands Rock & Minerals
Monday walk is about 7/8 miles and it is called
Walla Crag via Castle Head & Ashness Bridge.

on 17/10/10 @ 12:45

After all the walks each day if some would like to go to the Dog & Gun for a nice hot meal, and a drink. I have been told by the Landlord Richard that the goulash is a good dish to try.
The Dog & Gun is next to Barclays Bank off the main square, so hope that ok by all, and if any would like to meat on the Friday I will be in there wearing a grey swet shirt, with my name Mark on the back.
Hope every one finds this weekend ok as it the first time I sorted something like this and I would like some help as I do have some trouble reading maps so we may find owner self’s in Scotland lol.
Hope all well for all well hope it is fun for all.

mamark301   on 27/10/10 @ 12:26

A bit late, but a really big thanks from me to Mark and all at the Lakes weekend. It all felt quite scary at first, but great by the Sunday and 2 crackin' walks as a bonus !. Hope to meet up with you at some future point. (Not sure I'll get down to Wales though, as a house move is imminent and you can bet it will all happen at the same time, so I hope you all have a great time if I dont see you)..Down to Earth's idea sounds good for February. I'll try and contribute to the planning if I can..kev

kekevino   on 28/10/10 @ 8:39
