Parking Information

will be along road side and verges of the minor road which is the old A66 between Keswick and Threlkeld GR NY 302 239. Parking is free. Coaches and mini buses can be accommodated but please let the Organiser know (see below).
Directions: Access will be signed from the A66 just East of Keswick at GR NY 290 244. Postcode not included because SatNav will take you to wrong place! I know you can arrive from Threlkeld end of the minor road but please don’t. You’ll make life easier for the parking crew, who will also hand out pink registration cards – and yourselves – if you use Western approach as described. It’s only a couple of km further.
