GTR Owners Meet 2015 Legburthwaite, Near Keswick, Lake District National Park

[Lonewolf]

Ok chaps and (Debs), after much consideration and many phone calls over the last few weeks the destination for the 2015 GTR meet has been decided upon and is now available to book. The dates are Friday 5th June & Saturday 6th June 2015 departing on the Sunday morning for those who can make the entire weekend. Day trippers are obviously also welcome as are those who may only be able to stay one night.

However there is a twist, this year there are two venues, both owned by the same chain within the same location and only a two minute drive or ten minute walk apart. The reason for this is that I have discovered that high occupancy affordable accommodation in this part of the country is few and far between! Each respective venue only has a handful of single rooms and approximately fourteen double rooms and therefore it is on a first come, first served basis. Perhaps some members may be willing to share double rooms with others to make this more affordable.

Therefore please have a look at the two links below and see which accommodation appeals to you, but remember we will be using both venues. I am assured the prices are the same at each venue, however the food which is available differs within each establishment. So choose wisely!

The tariffs are as follows:

Single Rooms at £50-£55 per person, per night which includes breakfast.
Double Rooms at £110 per room, per night, (not per person) based on two sharing which includes breakfast.
Double Rooms at £90 per room, per night based on a single occupancy.

I appreciate that these prices are slightly higher than what we have paid in recent years in other parts of the UK however this is Gods Country and trust me you will not be disappointed, (unless it rains).

I'm also going - I took Zebedee's spare room. Uncertain whether it's a solo trip or accompanied by the Boss, at the moment she does intend to make the trip! If not, I will ask my daughter if she would like to join us all - she does ride a Honda though.

Just had to cancel my booking at the Kingshead if anyone requires a double room - just had dates through for my gastric bypass so will be unable to make the meet - sorry guys was looking forward to putting faces to names.
Perhaps next time. I know you will all have a great time anyway :)

[Lonewolf]

Pete no problem at all, hope the op goes well. I'm sure we'll all catch up with each other at some point at one meet or another.

Anyone care to join us ?

[flatfour]

Charlie it would be easy for me to join you for the trip up, however I will be on my new bike and it will be its first journey of any kind, so "running in" which may not suit you?

Please feel free to decline!
