A motoring challenge.

Breakdown cover is a definate for sure!! Though youll be amazed at what cars im finding for £300, found an audi 80 with 110k on the clock tested, no tax. Personally hoping i can find a some form of people carrier or something like a punto convertible!

A couple of the group are mechanics but hopefully won't need them too much and we all have a keen interest in cars/engines so at least know how to look and point at an engine!

You could run a sort of circular route through the Lake District and camp each night somewhere, should be bags of decent places.

If you choose the right vehicle, you can sleep in it.

You might have trouble with the campsites. A lot around my way (Devon) won't take single-sex parties, just to avoid the stag and hen groups.
I can imagine that many sites won't exactly leap at the opportunity of having a dozen blokes in six tatty old cars full of beer arriving at on there doorstep.

Yeah i can see this being a big problem too!

Its not like were massive drinkers but yeh people dont like it! Was kind hoping for something like a farmers field but got a feeling that will take all my persuasive power, especially if you mentioned the bangers (guessing the farmer would be worried about donuts!)

If anyone has any ideas on this that would be great too!!

Cheers again for the replies people!





Good news, just had a look on pitchup.com and theres 16 sites in the north west that welcome single sex groups... all is not lost! just need to check if thye have a no noise after 10pm policy!

No, just concerned about starting the cars up!

A trip over the Wrynose and Hardknott pass would be a good test for the cars.

That's what I was trying to think of when I thought lakes in the first place. Well done that man.

Make sure the brakes are good to come back down again!
