The Sailing Club has 6 available spaces of which one must be for a club member. Mike Deane will be the club representative on site.
The cost will be £20 per person per night.
Mike will be there from Friday until Tuesday and will be joining us on the Rally.
We plan to see how many wish to take up these 5 places and then then make an allocation decision.

Accommodation
There is lots of accommodation available in the Lake District
Here are a couple of links to Lake District Guides and Accommodation links
I anticipate a number of people will be in motorhomes and I shall be establishing a list of places to book so we are all together. For those who might like to give motorhoming a go with people around to help and guide, then consider hiring a motorhome for 10 days. As well as commercial hire companies, owners also rent out their motorhomes and many have towbars fitted. To find out more try Camplify
Ullswater
Ullswater doesn't know we are coming yet!!!
But it looks like we could make this more of a family sailing day with boat hire from
And Motorhome site close by.
These Dinghy Trails can be downloaded from the RYA website
