I booked my ferry from Rotterdam to Hull today, arriving in Hull on May 15th. There I will be met by Steve @Wessa , and we’ll travel together through Yorkshire and The Lakes, staying the night somewhere in the North Lake District area. Steve will then return home, and I will travel on to get the ferry to Larne, where I’ll meet up with Andy @Andyc1 . I’m very much looking forward to this trip!

Let’s hope nothing interferes with it this time!

I will be retired by then. Maybe a beer or two in the North Lakes is on the cards

I was just talking to Steve, and we might stay up a bit further North, around Gretna Green. That’s about an hours ride for you?
Bit more but definitely doable 
Don’t need much of an excuse to go to Scotland!
Let me know where you are staying and I will book a room

Yep booking completed in Gretna, thanks Wim. Unfortunately the dates for Ireland clash with my cruise with my family, so regrettable I cannot get back into Ireland this year.
However a ride with Wim for a day will be good and I get go into Newcastle on my way home to see some family and possibly Dilligaf a former member of this Parrish.

Brilliant! 
Once you know which route you are taking through the Lakes we can arrange to meet on the way (as long as you don’t go too fast 
)

After crossing the M6 I was planning to take the B590 up to Levens, then hang a right up the A5074 (I want to have a look at the house in Winster which I have lovely memories of) then towards Bowness, Windermere, Troutbeck and up and over Kirkstone. Rough idea:

The company has grown - not only has dilligaf (and @Dawsy of course) joined the first leg, but in Ireland Dougie will join Andy and myself. So we’ll be 3 on the Irish leg. It’ll be great to see both again.
