Tour 2018 - Return to the Back of Beyond

May 4th - 6th

Lions Tour 2018

The call of the wild proved too strong to resist, this year's venue a secluded corner of the Lake District National Park, far from the madding crowd.

The weather forecast was promising, no rain in the forecast but cloudy.  How wrong was that??!! - from Saturday morning wall to wall sunshine, blue skies putting the Lake District at its fabulous best.

Itineries (on the whole) as per mission, Rolling on the Ratty, Cruising on the Water, Smoking on the BBQ and not forgetting an obligatory helping of nonsense.

MARVELLOUS!!

Dev wastes no time getting acquainted with the locals
