Thanks

OK, come off the M6 at J37, head towards Sedburgh.  It's about 5 miles into town I think.  Once into the town drive along the high street, you'll see the Dalesman pub on your left, keep going, a little way past this you'll see a left (which is effectively straight on) ... a little one way street.  Head down here... just on your left is the Bull hotel - the rather narrow little passageway immediately before the hotel is the entrance to the car park!

You will have gone past Andy's place on the way into town - but we can all head there in convoy on Saturday so we won't lose you!

See you Friday,
Helen

I can't guarantee being able to help, depending what article you need. If you have lights then please bring them, if you have two you might be prepared to lend.

I've bagsied two 12litre cylinders...avec 32% s'il vous plait M. Ennis!

Cheers Phil!

(BTW not so rude as to just demand this on here - I have spoken to Phil as well... this is more by way of a reminder as requested... am far too frightened of what he'll do to me if I'm rude... especially since he called me gobby last time )

EDIT - Phil, please can you bring along an adaptor so I can use my A-Clamp regs with the DIN fittings?  Thanks...!

<font color='#000080'>I'm not going to be coming up until Saturday morning, so could someone provide directions direct to Andy's, please.

And The Bull is full up, so has anyone got suggestions for somewhere else to stay? Or is there camping available nearby?

[Driftwood]

<font color='#0000FF'>Directions the same Mark expect you turn off before Sedbergh.

You'll go over a VERY narrow bridge and about a mile or so on there's a big left hander followed by a right with the white town sign for Sedbergh. Go straight ahead into Andy's farm at this point instead of following the road to the right (so the sign is on your immediate right) - look out for the white &quot;Baskerville&quot; boat

I'll be there early Sat too

[HelenM]

OK...

I've booked a table for 12 at the Dalesman on Saturday night. &nbsp;It's at 7.30 - sorry it's so early, but this is the latest I could get. &nbsp;So far, the takers I know of are

1. Jules Clark
2. Bren Tierney
3. Phil Ennis
4. Helen Mutter
5. Rick Huggins
6. Mark Davies

I've managed to track down a phone no for the Indian for Friday night. &nbsp;No answer from them as yet, but plan to book something for about 9pm. &nbsp;Would suggest that we convene in the bar of the Bull (as that seems to be where most of us are staying) and have a few drinks there as we trickle in. &nbsp;I've just realised that I have to be in Milton Keynes on Friday, so will be coming up from there &nbsp; Marvellous.

I'll let you know when I have got hold of the place for Friday.

There is a table for 10 booked at the Indian at for 9pm on the Friday. &nbsp;(It's booked under 'Helen' in case I am stuck on the motorway. &nbsp;And no, this isn't me trying to get out of a curry )

I know that the M6 normal is utterly vile on a Friday night - anyone know what the M6 toll is like then? &nbsp;(My current plan is to avoid all that rubbish by heading up to the A50, but would appreciate any info on the toll road - whenever I have used it previously it has been great, but that's never been in full blown rush hour)

Cheers all
