Well aiming for May Bank Holiday weekend, though that will be harder to find accommodation for - I wondered with the interest so far whether to go for the whole hostel - 24 people though, bit of a risk if we don't get the numbers. Hmmm...

No beers.

Lightweight (Ooh, thought of a smart arse comment but don't want to get banned before we even get things booked so I'll keep my big mouth shut, for once)

Comes up as 141 miles (SECC to Grasmere) - probably a 2-leg journey. I intend to cycle down (haven't thought about the way back yet!), I'm sure a few others will want to as well.

Would it be anything to do with the irony of calling me a lightweight??

Yellow Card Mr B.
