Hi Folks....
Way behind with getting this out there,but better late than never, lol

Those Attending listed below.....but please pm or post on here if you want added or removed

For those who haven't been before,it's a great weekend of Driving some great roads in equally great company, in hopefully OK weather in our zeds and other such fine cars :D :driving:

We have a meal on the Friday night (pm me of you want added to the list cheers) ,a BBQ on the Saturday night with DRIVES on both the Saturday and Sunday.

SATURDAY DRIVE tends to normally be a bit more scenic,and in tge Lakes area usually, but not always, lol....
SUNDAY DRIVE is usually a bit more Driver focussed, with some usually excellent driving roads round the Dales area.
Information will be given on the weekend.

We have a group reservation for the Hotel in Kendal/Crooklands, and ditto for the adjacent Campsite.
Post on here or pm me ,as all initial bookings are through myself,to let me know if you want Hotel or Camping (prices to follow soon,but won't be too different from last year,so I'm told :)
Hotel costs in 2024 were from £93 to £128 per Room per night,depending on Room type (Standard or Deluxe), and if Single or Double Occupancy, Including Breakfast....some 3rd party sites don't include Breakfast,

Prices for 2025 Still tbc,but should only be a slight increase on last year's.

So if you've been before,or came last year etc for the first time,or never been and you fancy it,just let us know :thumbsup:

Long time no see Geezah. Good to hear things are well with you. Antipodes,nice :thumbsup:
Yeah,just hopefully get some runs organised for August, September etc .You're welcome anytime You're in the country, be good to see you again mate :D :driving:
 
Just getting round to putting car details on like I usually do....just realised that this year will be the first time we've had an owner of a G29 z4 bring their car along on this meet ,as other meets I do/have done over the years regularly have a G29 or 2 on them,we've never had one on the National....apart from the one we got Loaned in the Launch year,2019,by the Lakes BMW dealer, in Frozen Denim Orange combo.
Be good to have one,Thanks to newcomers FretfulMass (aka Steve and Gill). :driving:
 
Cars clean and gassed up with Shell’s finest ready for the weekend.
Put the tent up in the garden and water proofed it as it looks like we are in for a wet one this year.
See you all in the rain ⛈️🌧️🌦️🌈
 
Car is filthy but tank is full of Tesco Momentum!

Weather is looking damp, and a chilly 18 degrees in the Lakes. :o

It's predicted to be over 30 for the next couple of days here at home and still 23 next weekend. :(

But I'm looking forward to it. :thumbsup:
 
For those of us who like to use super unleaded (not available at petrol station near Crookland’s) before or after the days run, we usually go to Kendal’s Shell garage 6.5 miles away from hotel/campsite. Found out that there is a Shell garage in Milnthorpe selling super and it’s only 3 miles away.
The Milnthorpe Shell also has a Spar shop for any last minute buys. :driving:
 
Thanks. :thumbsup:

I'm going up tomorrow so will try to find it, although a Tesco would be a cheaper option!

The closest Tesco Fuel (assuming it’s for Momentum 99), coming from the south, is 38 miles away in Preston.

Hi Craig,

Great to bump into your group in the hotel by chance! Thank you for extending an invite to me, I plan to meet you at Crooklands at 930 Saturday morning.

I'm up from South Oxfordshire, visiting my folks in Coniston. Fingers crossed for some dry weather 🤞

Cheers Jonathan

Some long & relatively boring (except for the fun bits) extracts from Day 2 of this weekend's runs...




Took longer than expected to upload them, as YouTube baulked at the full 4k 80GB files I was trying to upload, so had to recode/resize them myself ;)
