Mr and Mrs Mowog from Canada are staying with us, so we'll be taking a quick run into the Lake District on Friday 13th July.

A run highlighting the best of the Lakes with some History thrown in too!

Route to be finalised but the usual highlights will be included. Maybe even a lake cruise.

Hopefully we will be able to supply spare seats for our Canadian visitors to sample the delights from a passenger seat of an F or TF.

I will also arrange an early evening (1730-ish)meal in town.

If there is demand I will rerun on the Saturday.

Usual meet at Little Chef/Travelodge on A66 WEST just off Junction 40 of the M6 10:00hrs

This sounds like a plan.

I'll have to check as it's a work day, but then again I think I should take a day off every now and again.

:drive:

I'll have a spare seat if our guests don't mind stripes :lol:

See the MGF/TF QI Facts for some interesting notes on our cars

I'm considering driving up. But, it all depends. I might be in Paris. Will let you know. Either way, it's a lovely gesture and I hope they, and you all have great fun. It's beautiful up there.

I know it's not easy to get people for weekday runs but everyone is invited. If people want to stay over, or can't make Friday, I'll do a run on Saturday 14th too.
