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

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.
