2025 Annual Meet Activities
 
Hi all,

I have put together a list of activities for the annual meet, before I go ahead and book I wanted to confirm numbers for each activity if possible.

On the Saturday a visit Honister Slate Mine and the Lakes Distillery. On Sunday an early morning visit to Lakeland Motor Museum after breakfast.

Prices for each activity are currently a rough guide as when I know an accurate number I may be able to negotiate

If you could add your name below to each activity you wish to join and I will follow up with payment details once numbers are confirmed

Honister Slate Mine Tour - 1.5 hours - £17.50pp - https://honister.com/

The Lakes Distillery Tour - 1 Hour - £20pp (Incl drivers dram) - https://lakesdistillery.com/

Lakeland Motor Museum - £9.20pp - https://www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk/

Thanks very much for the effort planning this Connor, however for various reasons we're quite a way from being decisive at present, but I'll share my thinking if that's OK:
Motor Museum, definitely interested especially the Bluebird exhibits.
Distillery, we've been to so many in the past that we'd probably pass on that one.
Honister mine, interested but concerned about accessibility which is a fluctuating issue at present. We tried a cavern in Derbyshire a few months ago and in retrospect just shouldn't have! :tuttut: Do you know how much climbing/stairs/rough ground is involved?

No problem Andrew, the mine tour is fairly easy going. A bus takes you to and from the mine. The tour includes a total of 50 steps with a handrail and not much rough ground.

If you follow the link on the top post to Honister there are some FAQs on the tour

I would also add Andrew that the Lakes Distillery is worth doing even if you, like me, have done many of the more traditional Scottish Distilleries as their former blender, Dhavall Gandhi took them down a slightly more innovative approach during his time there and that comes across in the tours.

Thanks Connor, we've had a look at that and it's probably going to be OK. :cool:

Came on to research a pesky airbag off switch fault and noticed you guys are coming to my area. Unfortunately I don't think I'll still be in the country come June, but if I am I may come and say hello. Off the top of my head, a few gems if you get chance...


Farrah's coffee shop in Kendal
Keswick Saturday market
Toys and hobbies in Keswick (has the best outdoorsy shop hidden in the back)
Angel Lane chippy in Penrith (or Fish Express if you don't want to leave kendal)

You're Also not too far from the greatest UK drive you can do in a D2....

Brough (Kirkby Stephen) to Consett via Stanhope.


Hope you guys have an amazing time.

Hi all, Quick bump on this thread as I have only received 2 payments in almost 2 weeks. To secure both bookings the balance has to be paid ASAP. I would be grateful if people could transfer over the next couple of days. Any issues feel free to PM me.

Hi all,

I have opened a WhatsApp group for the meet as I think it’s easier to communicate things which all attendee's have to answer. Such as activities and upcoming meal orders.

I have already added those who I have contact numbers for if not please feel free to PM your mobile number and I’ll get everyone added.

Hi everyone.
May I wish you a great time.
Sorry we don't think we will make it.
However, the next time you will see us our S8 should be looking much smarter.
Best wishes...

Get in contact with connor123, as he is probably the best person to answer any questions in regards to accommodation and activities. There is also a WhatsApp group that he can add you to.

tintin 5th May 2025 08:20 PM

As we'll be in the Lakes this year/next month, I thought I should share - and recommend - this, about a local lad and legend:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074tfq

An oldie but goodie, for those who haven't seen it +++

Slabber 27th May 2025 08:17 PM

I live in the South West Lakes but I'm unfortunately busy for most of the annual meet weekend. However I was wondering about popping over to the hotel for half an hour or so on Friday night to say hello. Will most people be there on Friday and is there anything planned such as walking around the cars (if anyone does this) before you all eat?
