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.

Here is a webite with some B&Bs in Keswick, holiday cottages can be a bit expensive in June. Hope Rex gets better, Moss is coming up for his 10th birthday this year.....

Hi Moss

Rex is on the mend now and thanks to all those who asked about him.

He is about 11 now andmanaged to slip a disc in his back after getting scared during one of November fireworks nights which, combined with his arthritic problems, made him a very unhappy collie.
I drove him over to West Kennet LB and then to Avebury last weekend which was his first megalithic outing since his problems started.
Although quite tired and stiff at the end of it he seemed to enjoy himself.
Not sure he is up to a long drive to Cumbria but I will see how it goes.

We both hope to see you all at Castlerigg in the summer.
