Ride to the Lakes
me and a couple of my friends are planning an over-nighter to the Lake District in Febuary, this is our first attempt at anything like this so any info/ help would be greatly appreciated, as it stands we are all still on 125's so we are restriced for luggage and due to us also being poor we are going with tents, any advice or even any one wanting to join us?? dates are yet to be set so could be any time apart from 15th to 20th

Re: Ride to the Lakes
Theres a bunk house at the very top of Kirkstone pass. Thats at the top of Ambleside. also just down the Valley / road about 1.5 miles away from Ambleside is Sykeside Bunkhouse with a campsite that we the pennine massive stayed at back in 2007 for a rideout.

Re: Ride to the Lakes
The prices are Cheep, see for yourself at the main page
they also have a Pub at the top which does Pub food.... but there is a nice bar at the camp site that also offers food and good Whiskey and Beer.. a Very merry night we had there.
