ok, first off, ignore the comments by mrscw42, as she is not coming. We cant get cover for the kids, so I don't want to drag them up to cumbria for a driving weekend, they will be bored 5 mins out of stockport!
The rooms available at lordhardings and his mums B&B are like this:
1 double bed and single bed in 1 room in lordhardings,
the same configuration in his mums up the road + another room with a double bed.
that makes a total of 8 sleeping spaces.
So, thats either 8 single blokes sharing :O, or blitz and your missus and ***** and his missus taking up 2 rooms, and 1 room left for lads!
How do you want to do this?
Maybe to solve any problems, the girls could share a double, and the lads would then be able to have the other rooms in peace?
Your thoughts please soon, as I will need to be telling lordharding what we are doing.
(His mum doesn't usually open in the winter, but to quote him: "as its the scoobys she will as she likes to hear them set off and likes to look at them on the drive !!!" Nice one Mrs Harding

*****, good morning, if you need to find out about someone on here, the best thing to do is to add them to your vip list, go to the list from the bbs homepage, and you can then see what they've posted and said in the past.
Lordharding is the "our man" in cumbria! He was the organiser and driving force behind the NBO last year, the biggest gathering of scoobys this country has ever seen (hopefully even more will show up this year john )
I've already been up to cumbria with blitzboy1, missyc and supertouring in November last year and had a great time with superb hospitality from john and his mum.
Be in no doubt, you will have a great time on this weekend!

thanks for the sympathy guys, and the offer of the mechanic *****, I may take you up on that one.
Im off next week as discussed earlier, so I will try and get everything done then.
Still trying for a remap, help me out guys, tell her indoors how much money we'll save in petrol once the fuelling is sorted.
*and more power, obviously!*

Yes really a remap should be considered an essential part of scooby motoring, its far safer to drive with the extra torque and the fuel economy does actually increase as you overtake more often in a higher gear therefore the engine doesnt have to work as hard.
Will you remove the gun from my head now Chris?

Tested the waters with a "Might go to Scotland" this evening and it appeared favourable. Will likely do a Sat run up, overnight and back first thing in the morning.

A full remap is necessary for cumbrian roads due to air quality
something to do with the speed that we encounter on my little runs out to experience fast flowing hedges and rapidly decreasing views .
Anyone turning up at the NBO without a decat will be sent home in shame and be Banned from scooby -canonball 2005 (missy-Cs route)
Due to the high location of the accomodation excess power 280+BHP is required to drive up to the parking area.
Mrs CW42 is wellcome to join us as long as she drives us all back from the <meeting>at 1230 PM !!!! where many new <visions> will be discussed .

Chris,
Looking at your post times it seems you "worked on the boss" for about 15 mins, well done old chap keep up the good work. That must be worth a remap.
