I can see the nice trucks at the HLRC website, looks shiny, but
their prices were at the beginning of all the price nonsense and
haven't improved.
Visiting a LR restorer would be interesting, though, by the time
we arrive there we might need restoring our trucks ;D

Can help out with a few nice lanes in Northumberland/County
Durham. You could try Beamish museum and/or Locomotion (the
national railway museum in the north). I volunteer at the
railway museum and could arrange a bit of a tour and access to
some of the cabs?? (That goes for anyone on the forum who may be
in the area by the way)

You know the Series 2 Club Annual Rally is just outside
Carlisle, but at the start of August ?

It would be great to do both events, but unfortunately we'll
have just two weeks to fit this into :-[

I've looked up campsites for the eastern leg of the journey
along the coast from Flamborough to Newcastle - Wold Farm near
Flamborough and Broadings Farm off Whitby, but can't find any
campsites southeast of Carlisle that would look welcoming or at
least wouldn't be too expensive - anyone has any tips for
campsites in North Pennines or Yorkshire Dales area?

of good campsites available whoo

Ian, could you point out some of those by location? I would like
to put together the western leg of our little tour - many
thanks!
I bet our friend's Minerva will be the first one converted to a
mini-camper ;D

If you decide to bunk at the Eden Valley camp site (Mains farm)
You won't find a nicer camp site the owners Robert and Julie are
fantastic....
Facilities are excellent too.... Nice walk along the river close
by (ancient church/laceys caves folly/AND Neolithic stone circle
'Long Meg' lead mining museum at Killhope close too)
As well as fantastic food and ale at the Fetherstone arms in the
village.
Let me know if you want any more info Jan

You guys beat me to it but another big thumbs from me for Mains

in the top 3
