The date sounds good to me.

The question(s) I have asked myself is how many days should I spend there?
I wouldn't want to drive all that way and only see two sites and that part of the world has so much to see in addition to our stone fetish.

And that would then have a bearing on whether I hotel/B&B it or rent a cottage or even camp.

Are there any dog restrictions other than keeping them on leads....should Rex be up to the trip by then?

This brings the age old question of what are the best sites to see and how long would it take to visit them all assuming travelling by car between sites.

oooh, there's loads to see around this bit of Cumbria alone. You've got the 2 Megs, Glassonby, Clifton Stones, Leacet, Gunnerkeld, the 2 henges at Eamont bridge, a possible Long Barrow and it isn't far too Moor Divock and all the wonders there. There are some holiday cottages available in Great Salkeld (close to Meg) but you will be able to find more info on here http://www.cumbriatourism.org/

There are also some fab castles round here, if that floats yer boat!

Thanks V

Well that sounds like a good starter for a few days so may see if I can do a long weekend or something.

Probably visit a few places along the way up from and back down to Wiltshire also.
