Cheers all, Have a top weekend! JM |

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

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

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

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