Really looking forward to seeing you all!
Ron and I have booked into The Royal Hotel on Friday and Saturday. No availability for the Sunday unfortunately.
Does anyone understand the breakfast arrangements? Not included but no prices shown... May bring own cereal!
The itinerary looks amazing so count us in for everything. We're hoping to stay in Keswick for a few days after the weekend...
Great to have this in the diary. 👍😎

Hi Sheila
Will be great to meet you.
Provisionally for the Saturday morning we will depart from Booths (Northern Waitrose) carpark Carnforth around 9.30 ish to head to the Lakeland Motor museum, Booths have a nice little cafe that sells breakfast sandwiches, scrambled eggs etc, it is literally 4 minute drive from where you are staying so that could be an option for Saturday breakfast, I'm working on Sunday breakfast, I have an idea but need to ask the owner first.
Looking forward to seeing you

From my front door, it’s a 5-10 minute walk up to my local Ordnance Survey triangulation point, at the lofty height of about 30m above sea level. After a visit from @Clackers, I took these photos on a stroll this afternoon.
From here, you can see across to the tiny community at Sunderland Point, which can only be accessed at low tide.
On a summer’s day, when the tide is high and the sun glistens off the water, it can look tropical. On an overcast winter’s afternoon, when the tide is out and the mudflats are exposed, it’s nevertheless beautiful.
If you look closely, you’ll see Blackpool Tower on the horizon, directly above Sunderland Point. @depronman lives not far from its base, but he’s an hour’s drive from here.

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Tom, you can almost see me waving from Blackpool 🤣.
Sunderland point was part of a BBC programme not long ago, it was the second or third biggest port in the country back in the day.

Looking forward to meeting you too. It's always great to spend time with the A2OC family... "Barry" will be very pleased to see his friends too!
We're booked into the Highfield Hotel in Keswick from Sunday evening to Friday morning to revisit this beautiful area.
Ron and I are camping in the Bunya Mountains at the moment. The wallabies are a few metres away... I haven't camped for about 10 years but the climate here makes it very enjoyable! 🐨🦘🦜

Another option for breakfast is Brief Encounter Bistro at Carnforth Railway Station. If you remember the film you are older than you look 😀. It opens at 8am Saturday and 9am Sunday.

Just to whet your appetite, Morecambe bay looking lovely in the sunshine today, across to Grange over Sands and South Lakeland hills.
