Eskdale Dubfest 4th-6th April 2014

I received two booking confirmations - the 1st said Grass pitch with EHU then later I got one saying Overspill area - anyone else had that? I wondered if it was because we all wanted to pitch together?

My confirmation says Grass pitch with services and did stipulate Brazilian Vw Bay Forum so please query it...

I've spoken to Mike at the site and everythings fine, we're all together on grass pitches with EHU's and they've only 7 pitches left now

Great News..

Good work, Geoff. See you next year.

Booked in - the second last place available - unfortunately without EHU - boo - but told that the pitch will be with the others from the forum
Looking forward to our first meeting with others from our forum - and a chance to say hello in the flesh as it were!
(Just to be entirely mercenary - if anyone drops out with EHU then please let me know!!!!!)

So do I - this was the same weekend this year, the Lakes would look spectacular with snow and blue skies

I'd settle for being snowed in on site.

Here here!!!!

Might be able to make this one.

Hi Stuart,

Last I heard the site was full for this event but it might be worth giving them a ring.

Only five weeks until this event - can't wait.

It's featured in this month's C&CC magazine - 80 Dubs of all ages and varieties booked in - will be a great site to see them all travelling to the Lakes

Yes, I noticed that too, Geoff. Just hope we get blue skies.

Who's up for a couple of walks over the weekend?

Sounds good to me Martin , was a little worried that the poor weather would scupper the event... Fingers crossed eh??. I'm seeing Tim at Volksworld so will grab the club banner then and bring it up with me.. Don't forget if you can give me the heads up on the route for the last stretch of my journey that would be much appreciated... Have booked the Friday off work so we plan on heading up as early as poss..

That's brilliant Steve - I'll have a look at the route for you and send you a PM. It'll be great to see you and Jo again.

Cheers Martin , looking forward to a great weekend.. See you soon..

Hi Abs can you send me the last bit of the journey as well. Much appreciated Tim

Hi Guys - See pics below for the last part of the journey.

You should leave the M6 at J36 and head towards Barrow on the A590 - follow this road until you come to a new roundabout at Greenodd, where you turn right onto the A5092.

This road takes you over Broughton fell and drops down into Grizebeck, where you turn right onto the A595.



Keep going past Muncaster Castle and then pick up the right turn in Holmrook along Kirklands road to the Camp Site.
