Re: Adventure cycle festival
I booked a spot at the lower Wray campsite because I wasn't sure if the overnighter from the station was suitable for a mostly clueless slow novice.

If you can ride offroad in the Lakes and have a couple of nights bivi experience you'll be fine.
Pace will be sociable, but dont expect me to be bringing you breakfast in bed

Double Really???!!??Has anyone given any thought to where they're staying yet? It would appear than on-site accommodation doesn't run to tents, so I was thinking the Low Wray campsite down the road on Sat night?
I presumed, wrongly it would seem, that you could camp/bivi in the grounds of Brathy Lodge!!
So the £20 is just for the event and you have camp/park elsewhere. That's a bit naff.

Re: Adventure cycle festival
There is camping in the grounds of the venue as far as I know and is in the price of the ticket. I,m riding out of Staveley on Friday night to a bivi spot which is a stunning spot, breakfast in Ambleside and then ride to the gig on late Saturday morning.
Msg me if you fancy a ride out a few beers In Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley to start the ride

Re: Adventure cycle festival
Mmm just checked out the site and there is no camping on site what a shame and a opportunity missed IMHO just seen the Oxenholme Station ride by Bearbones mine will probably have more beer stops

Re: Adventure cycle festival
Just in case anyone cares, I believe I'm running a 'shelter workshop' on both Sat and Sun afternoon. I will do my very best to supply help to the hopeless and hope to the helpless ... so if you're either of those, come along, I'm not 'that' grumpy in real life.

Re: Adventure cycle festival

Re: Adventure cycle festival
My understanding is - no, not really.Is there stuff happening on the friday?
'Doors open' on Fri but aside from maybe having a pint and chatting, I don't think there's actually anything happening on site ... less confused?

Re: Adventure cycle festival
Actually ..... maybe there is something taking place on Fri afternoon. The website says Fri 3pm, afternoon workshops and presentations. No mention of what they are though. I'm sure all will become clear at some point in time.

Re: Adventure cycle festival
I'm keen and will likely be in..... keen to meet up with some folks off here and have a fondle of/go in some packrafts too.
Below, this might be an option for accommodation at £9 per night pp. I'm a member of the Lancs Climbing and Caving Club and could book it for the weekend (it's currently available that week). A ride down Walna Scar and then Coniston/Hawkshead Hill and into Brathay should be quick (about 15km)
