UPDATE July 31st
Event cancelled I'm afraid due to poor weather forecast for the next 5 days.

Confirmed date:

Saturday 2nd August 2008

Been talking to some people about having another family day at Fellfoot Park at the bottom of Lake Windermere. This is all about relaxing, enjoying good company and maybe getting a boat or playing rounders in a breathtaking location. Last years one was fun and certainly eventful

.

Once again I think it would be a good idea to visit the Wrynose Pass again where we (still?) have some ducks that were released last year in memory of Ruthie and Ed. I hope the two Kim's won't mind if we do the same for Stu and Duncan too

.

So, the format which is based on a Saturday arrival:

Arrive late morning/lunchtime
Picnic
Generally relax at your leisure
Later in the afternoon drive over to the passes

** Try not to fall into the Lake or have any tyre blowouts please**

This is a family day so children are most definitely welcome

.

Those interested so far:

Pat + Stef
Wincakes and Banana Panceyette
KP Kalle
Weird In Wiltshire
NickyJ + family
Heather P
Minnie Mouse + family
Harpo + Rose
Killerbyte
Buttonit
Stuvoi + family
Stevemac+1
Silvergirl+1

JWT
Hetcooper
Blackadder + family

wincakes · Mar 14th, 2008, 03:28 PM

Depending on when it is, and whether Lisa can get over, then we'd be up for it!

KPKalle · Mar 14th, 2008, 03:51 PM

Don't forget the runflats Chris.

Shamster · Mar 16th, 2008, 11:04 AM

I've added a poll now so you can pick your preferred dates - multiple choice allowed too.

I think my own preference would probably be July 26th but we'll go with the majority.

Anyone fancy volleyball?

Snowie · Mar 16th, 2008, 01:13 PM

Jan & I would love to do this if it co-incides with our time in the UK - so I have voted for 26th July.

We have had some great times in the lakes and would love to go back.

stuvoi · Mar 17th, 2008, 05:34 PM

Was just talking about this with Helen at the weekend !!

can you add Helen, Bella and I to the list of interested

(Dates depending!)

Cheers

Stu

stuvoi · Mar 21st, 2008, 05:14 PM

I'd originally put the 26th July as preferred date, but brother is now getting married in Cyprus, so will be over there then, so would prefer a different date now

Cheers

Stu
