LAKES RUN 2005 - North East meets North West - SUNDAY 20th MARCH 2005


15 MR2s meet for our popular annual run through the Lake District. This is always a great run, for 2005 we decided to have it in March at the beginning of the year instead of our usual end of year run event. We decided its better this way as its lighter in the evening.

We all met up at a service station just of the M6 near Penrith, there we were given maps which had been prepared by Mac Sheavills who was now sporting his new red, Supercharger T-Bar, very nice. Off we went en route which took in some fantastic scenery along some brilliant tight and twisty roads. The day was bright and dry so we had a little more confidence in turning into some of the narrow corners.

After a stop off for lunch at the Glen Rothay Hotel in Ambleside we continued through Keswick, Kirkstone Pass, Glen Ridding, Ullswater and finally Pooley Bridge for our now accustomed farewell drink.

To sum up its was great to meet our new members to the Club and our friends from the North West, a superb driving day in breathtaking surroundings. Thanks to Mac for taking the time to carefully plan the route.

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story!!
