Thats 'cos there aren't any nearby Guy - the nearest are at Carlisle where there are 4 different ones. The one at J42 of the M6 is probably the nearest one (the meet is at Watermillock which is off of J40). There is a Travelodge nearer if those are ok for you -

Travelodge Hotel - Penrith
A66 Redhills, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0DT
0871 984 6168   01768 868425 (Fax) ‎
travelodge.co.uk

Have you tried booking any of the hotels that others are already staying at?
They are -
The Brackenrigg Inn
The Knotts Mill Country Lodge
The Pooley Bridge Inn

If the Knotts Mill B&B has room then the German guys will be based there but the B&B owner will run the group of you up to the Brackenrigg and collect you so that you can join in with the main group He looks like David Dickinson but its really not him, honest! (not nearly orange enough!)

So not really prepared to drive 250 miles each way to the meet just for a couple of hours catch-up besides have not managed to get car in for MOT yet (ends 27/05/2012) and not sure if will before meet.

Have fun and see you at the Audis In The Park in August.

Guys, due to urgent change in circumstances I had to cancel my trip, which is a pity.

I have just cancelled family room in The Pooley Bridge Inn (CA10 2NN, tel 017684 86215), so someone who needs a family room can grab it.

I hope I will see you next time.
