For those members that are joining our esteemed Chairman on his visit and tour of the nether regions of Cumbria for this Weekend, i thought i would bring to your attention an event that is taking place close by on 13th August that may be of interest.

This is a gathering called “Classics over Sands” to be held on the playing fields in Grange-over-Sands, a small pleasant Town about 20mins drive from our Hotel, on the edge off and overlooking Morecambe Bay. I have an affinity with this town, having spent time there during the War to escape the bombing in Manchester, and built a number of prominent houses there in a former life, so will be taking a look.

The link to the event for further information is https://classicsoversands.org/

Well that looks like Sunday's activities taken care of....cheers, Robin

Grange is a really nice place on the banks of Morecambe Bay, at the estuary of the River Kent, and worth a look. And if you don't fancy the car do but feel like a walk instead, you can cross the channel over to Arnside, although it might be a good idea to do that with the guide so you don't end up becoming a victim of the quicksand and never being seen again....actually, I might suggest that to a few people I know

Here's the directions for the Saturday jaunt....hopefully not made any cock-ups - but check back nearer the date just in case I've had to revise them!

No idea why it's uploaded two copies of the file - maybe it's so both driver and navigator get their own copy.....

Or we could go round twice !!

[Normb666]

The danger is that if you print them both off, they'll cancel each other out and you'll end up going nowhere

Thanks Norm,

I will try and plot it in Rally Navigator and upload the result

Hi Norm et al,
Our friends from Italy have to return home a week earlier than originally planned due to business commitments so we can now make the Lake's run. Hotel is booked and Annalisa and I are really looking forward to another great weekend with all our SEC friends.
Cheers Steve

That's amazing news, Steve - I didn't know you had any friends!!

Good to hear you'll be along to the Lakes a week on Friday. I'm performing all sorts of arcane rituals to the weather gods....if I've done them right it'll be nice, if not, floods, possibly even as biblical as the 2019 Keilder Run ones...
