Both portaloos arethere now cuddling up to each other lol

For those of you who don't have satnav:
Directions from M6 coming from south<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Leave M6 at junction 34 and head east on A683 signposted Kirkby Lonsdale. After 6 miles turn right onto B6480 signposted Bentham After 5.6 miles you will see the Punch Bowl on the right hand side. Go a few metres past the pub and the entrance to the camping field is just beyond on the right, before the railway bridge. You will see the Sign for the Punchbowl Hotel at the field entrance.
Directions from M6 coming from north/ Scotland
Leave M6 at junction 36 signposted A65 kirkby Lonsdale/ Skipton and Straight across the roundabout. Stay on A65 for 16 miles then turn right onto B6480 signposted Bentham 5miles.
From Settle/Skipton turn left off A65 about 7 miles northwest of Settle, Signposted B6480 Bentham 5 miles. On B6480 carry on for 5 miles and pass through High Bentham village (shops/supplies here). Continue for 1 mile on B6480 to Low Bentham & pass through village. Pass underneath the railway bridge & you will see the sign for the Punchbowl Hotel at the camping field entrance on the left. The camping field is just before the pub from this direction.
There are various wiggly, narrow, picturesque routes especially if you approach from the north but I think taking the B6480 is the most straightforward. I think this all makes sense but I will have confused some folk, no doubt...but done me best. It's pretty easy to find
If you feel you want a contact number, pm me & I'll give you my mobile no
Hope you all have a great weekend, wish we could be there with ya, but Oulton Park & the BSB & men in leather call
Safe journeys to you all & have a few for me
Stells & Spesh
Hurrah I'm up and all excited we'll be setting off about lunchtime going partway so I get used to riding and carrying a bit of stuff, stopping over in SquirrelKiller's caravan (think I'm going to need my earplugs and lots of alkeyhole to get to sleep ) and then carrying on to campsite on Friday with me carrying a bit more stuff. I did try to pack light but now I'm worried but hey.....IT'S AN ADVENTURE
can't wait to see you folks tomorrow and I'm feeling very
