Go for it Norm, not sure which of the three categories we fall into, but this household is looking forward to an adventure where we can see more than 50 yds down the road through rain of Biblical proportions, with the threat of floating away in the next lake.!!!!! It could not happen again, could it?? We said at the time a StratArc would have been more appropriate, and Noah should have been with us.
*** UPDATE - it's on!! ***
The news you've all been waiting for (maybe) - the gig's now on! I've just reserved 10 double rooms with Shap Wells Hotel for us on a dinner bed and breakfast basis, at a price of £60 per person per night, so a couple will be £240 for both nights. A single room will be £80 per person per night, and a single in a double room £85. I'm waiting for info on how they want us to book (make your own booking with a card, as usual, or whether I have to manage the whole thing) so can't yet say to call and reserve a room, but I should know soon. Reason for the slight lack of certainty is cos they're running with a skeleton staff right now, as you'd expect, and their Events person isn't available today.
As requested, the run will be the Famous Kielder Marathon Route from 2019 of about 250 miles on some ace roads, where you'll be able to let the old girl off the leash. And the car too, which should hopefully not bother the lambs in the same way (this has brought about a very strange image in my mind, but then, life can be disturbing at times). This time around, though, there'll be a break-out point after Kielder itself, where you can head pretty much directly back to the hotel should you have had enough, or find yourselves flagging.
More info as it becomes available....don't yet know, f'rinstance, if the self-destructing cereal dispenser will be putting in an appearance for us to marvel at all over again
I'll try to make it along to this even if it's just popping along in something non-Stratosy for the dinner bit.
