the squiggle Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Imy and myself are heading to a remote part of the Lake District for the new year period. Highly unlikely there will be any access to the net. So Happy New Year to each and every one of you from Imy and myself. Hope you drink loads and loads, threw up in the toilet and have a damn good argument with the relatives. Grant

the squiggle Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 Good roads, good hotel, good food but the hospitality was sh*te. Arrived at 5pm on Friday night after a gingerly jaunt down, only burned quarter of a tank in 135 miles (is this a record), checked in to the hotel and asked if there was food available. We were told that the kitchen was shut. so we headed into a nearby place called Wigton to see if we could catch a Chinese Resteraunt for 2 loverly steaks. Not 1 Chinese sit in place, there was 2 take aways and a pizza place so i thought we will head down to Cockermouth which i reckoned must have a Chinese to sit in for a meal. After a tour de Cockermouth we found plenty of Pubs and Hotels that stated that they served food but all finished serving food at lunchtime. BAH HUMBUG. So the good lady and myself decided on heading back to Wigton, buy a humungous pizza and take it back to the hotel. We headed out of Cockermouth towards what i believed to be the A596. After an hour and a half of "big long straight into blind 90 left into hairpin right over humpbackbridge" ALL THIS WITH NO ROAD WARNINGS SIGNS i eventually came across a signpost i recognised. Left Barrow in Furness 21 miles and Right Workington 37 miles......... OOOHHH SSSSHHHIIIIIIITTTTTT. Where the hell were we and i was down to quarter of a tank on New Years Eve in a place that is deviod of any kind of intelligent life. Let alone an open Shell station. So we doodled along heading for Workington eventually weaving our way back to Wigton some 3 hrs after setting off from the hotel. Grant
