Will be the weekend of Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April 2019.
I'll add more info in due course but essentially I propose to have two runs to cover both days, it's a long way for most peeps to come for just a day. The normal Lakes Tour (Hardknott etc will be day 2, Sunday 7th April) with a new Tour added which will be on Saturday 6th April. I've got it in my head but need to run it first. It will include Crummock Water and Buttermere and on over Honister Pass.
The start and finish point will be the same and will the Cumbria Grand Hotel. I'll be stopping in the hotel also and will be checking dust caps for their shine
Why April? Statistically speaking April is the driest month of the Year
so hopefully less likekleyhood of liquid sunshine 
The runs will be a bit longer so will start circa 9am and aim to finish at 6pm latest with dinner at circa 7:30pm.
I'll add the routes to map my route app in due course.

OK peeps, we've had a look around and the Cumbria Grand Hotel just south of Newby Bridge looks OK.

3 nights from £186.50pp (per person)
