But can you recommend anywhere to sleep locally as it is 3hours drive for me.
Do you have a postcode for the start point.
Cheers
Rich.


Same here + an extra 60 mins

I was just going to try and find a cheap travel lodge (or simular) near Penrith
 
Post Code for this is CA11 8SW there are a few B&Bs in Portland place Penrith which are not to far away 10mins ride from the start also a Travellodge which is a 15min ride away but the wrong side of the dual carriage way.

As Bhill22 has mentioned it we can do the Dun fell ride with a lunch stop in Appleby I'd be keen to know your thoughts on this if you are coming

Thanks Clive
 
Re:

I'm easy but Dun Fell for preference. Isn't that why we have three back pockets: sandwiches / tools / cake (left to right)? ;)
 
I'm now unconfirmed thanks to engineering works on the West Coast main line. :?

Turns out I cant put a bike on a rail replacement coach. Will phone the reservation hotline when it reopens tomorrow morning and see if I can get on a train on Sunday night. Might get to do Dun Fell twice!

Alternatively, I could overnight in Penrith then get a train to Carlisle or Gretna and ride back to Glasgow.
