Lotus Elan Central

Way back in 2005 we had a fantastic weekend in the lakes. Lec members came from all over. It was one of the wettest/coldest weekends of the year but even so everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
Heres a link to some pics from the 2005 trip- http://lotuselancentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11776
I propose we go to the same venue - http://www.sykeside.co.uk/inn.htm
The majority pitched tents but some opted for the chalets which are on site.
Its a really nice site with fantastic views, and has a licensed bar

If I remember correctly we went quite early in the year, maybe we should aim for a bit later? I know from past attempts that the date can lead to the event not taking place at all, so maybe we should choose a date quite early on and hope most folk can attend?
I'm away the end of July Couples/families welcome

I'm up for this... I've never actually been to the lakes before. I did a job in Lindal in furness but I don't think that counts..

Bizzare and off topic story related to Lindal job.... Me and mate were sat on a rock eating lunch in the sun when a Giraffe leant over the fence and nicked our bag of fruit... Bit of a surreal moment that.

"May - June ? some time around then."

This would be a good time to go... :wink:

So June sounds favourite.
Can anyone who has shown an interest not make June?
Thinking we may be best booking early as possible to ensure comfy chalets ;-)

by **Russc** » Wed 27.02.2008, 09:11

I`d be interested pending dates and prices

Sorry Jay, you misunderstood me - I was simply implying that June doesn't clash with any other planned (but not necessarily announced, yet) dates this Summer.

I don't do camping.

dont forget that Le Mans is the 14th/15th of June...
just thought I better mention it (so if it is that weekend then someone can take a tv and a dish and we can have a 24hr BBQ) :-D

Sorry G, I didn't notice that line.

So its either early or late June. We're getting there :-)

We can still have a 24 hour bbq whatever date we decide on

I like meat me!
