Re: Introducing (drum-roll please)... MotoGoLoco
 

So - Monday I'll be nipping down to the Lakes on a reccy mission to find some places to talk to. If anyone's got any suggestions of hotels, B&B's etc that might make my life just that liiiiitle bit easier, I'll a) love you & b) love you (long time).

Cheers all,

Have a top weekend!
JM

Not sure about places to stay but can give you a cafe recommendation based on word of mouth

http://www.lakesescape.co.uk/Lakes_E...tion_Cafe.html

It's in Keswick and I've heard a lot of good things, run or owned(cant remeber which) by a triumph owner I believe and very definitely biker friendly.

Aaah, well I suppose that's Monday's breakfast stop sorted at least! ;)

Cheers Spanky - that's as good a start as any.

Hey, I've never Been to the Lake District myself so its the best I can do.

Pretty sure they'll also point you in the direction of good roads and possibly biker friendly hotels too.

Cross Keys, New Galloway?
phone: (0) 1644 420494
Not the cheapest but has a squeaky gate to the yard that would waken the dead ( drunk )
Best of luck, James

Fantastic idea, very much looking forward to using the new website when it goes live. I was looking for somewhere bike friendly to stay last summer and found it fairly difficult to find somewhere reasonable and suited to my requirements (so halfway up my route). I searched through the usual recommendation sites but for where I wanted there wasn't much info. So I expect you've already scouted this one, it being not too far from where you're based James, but I did stay here last summer http://www.walstonmansion.co.uk/
Lovely location, very friendly and welcoming family (originating from Yorkshire which I didn't know until I got there) and nice big barn to park in. Oh and cake and tea on arrival, massive thumbsup from me! :D

I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you

As much as me and Mio love the praise, there is a team of 7 behind it, all of whome have put far more work into it than me. :)

I never doubted the second half of that for a minute fallout.
