monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Ok, so my uni sponsors are based near Cockermouth in Cumbria and I'm going to be up there from the 22nd August until the 2nd of September and will have my bike...so where is there to ride round there? Carlisle looks fairly close but there also must be plenty of natural up there. Any info would be gratefully recieved :) Dave marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) Alright mate, im from carlisle, its pretty awsome for street! not much natty though, you have to travel about 20 miles back towards cockermouth for that up in the fell :) But if you like street, i strongly reconmend carlisle :D :-" :D Its only 36miles (i think) away :) EDIT: just thought i would say, iv never ridden cockermouth, but my mate whos dad lives there goes skating there and said its pretty alright and shouldnt be too bad for bike :) Edited August 13, 2005 by terror-error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 What about Workington? I haven't had a chance to get down there yet. It looks like I may be in the area for a bit longer, possibly 'til the end of September so will try and get up to Carlisle somewhen soon Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I've gone back up to Scotland to see my folks this weekend and will most likely be heading down to southampton for next weekend so am only really available in the evenings during the week...which is kinda limiting!! Cheers for the info though guys! Where abouts are those spots Ad? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 One of them's near Burton In Kendal, which is J36 of the M6 for you (quite far I guess).. and the other is down near me - fair way from Carlisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Kendal's doable. I'm at Cockermouth, South of Carlisle on the A66. I've got my car so travelling isn't too big a deal, it's just timing as I'm working 'til 5:30 every evening. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 How long are you gonna be a way for dave? You coming to the next hampshire comp at Swanage? I heard your yellow mini-bus got kind of broken :blink: what are you drivng now? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Well I'll be back in the south next weekend but like last weekend I need to be in Cumbria on Sunday evening really so I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do the comp (Y) Indeed the minivan was crashed into a couple of months back so I have the wonderful piece of engineering known as an 03 Nissan Almera! Bit of a change from the yellow peril I tell you!! But much more reliable... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
