Pedant!!!! Just because I ride a bike doesn't mean I'm a bad person! :p
You, of course, get the coconut!
From Wikipedia......
As you can see. Only one lake in the Lake District. Talk about bigging it up for tourists. I was well disapointed with all the waters, meres and tarns. Give me a good lake anyday!!! :ROFL:

How are we going to manage the 'spirited drive through the Lakes' when it seems that so many of us will have the speed limiter fitted (also known as SWMBO) to our cars?

maybe we need to plan alternative activities for those not interested in spirited driving sessions:ROFL:

I think my own speed limiter is also coming now, made an error in telling her many others were going:o

yes..... I might be in the Q7 only now, not with the A8..... I'm not so sure throwing that around lots of lakes roads will be 'fun'.... :p

Bring both
 
Considering the fuel economy of the A8, I think if you bring both A8 and Q7 you will even up the fuel consumption with us guys in the s8s, and have space for the whole family.

BTW - I thought it was Lake Windermere.

:tuttut:
It's a Mere not a lake. There is only one lake in the Lake District. Which of course is a correct description of the area. It has a lake and it is a district!
But, Mere or Tarn or Water District would be a more pedantic description; should one be a pedant! :p:ROFL:
