i had considered going along the Kendal/Windermere road but my plan was to stop off at McDonald's in Penrith for a cuppa and a break then head straight down to the site so as we got there for T time which would allow for people setting up tents etc.etc then getting something to eat before the mayhem of socialising/drinkypoos.
but if people want we could do the detour from Penrith down the Ullswater/Windermere road which would only add about another 10-20mins then thats fine by me, as i would personally prefer that.
my reasoning for hugging the motorways is that if anyone gets board or its pizzing down its just a quick turn off then a blast down to the camp site.
on the day i will be in no hurry (mainly sticking to speed limits) so it will be a leisurely pace all the way. if you prefer just to 'get there' then its probably not for you.
