I was hoping we could settle the date of the Avebury meet by Xmas as people will be starting to plan holidays etc soon, so it would be helpful if you could put your minds to a date soon to avoid a clash.
I am presuming it would be a weekend (?) so anytime after Easter would be fine for me, hopefully the weather would be getting a wee bit warmer then and if we avoid big holiday times (school holidays etc) it shouldn't be too difficult for folks, travel wise. Cumbria can get very crowded!!
I really like Hob's idea of staying over and doing the big sites one day then onto Langdale the next, Vicky and I would certainly be up for that (I presume it will involve a night spent in a pub, which can only add to the fun!)

No one has mentioned circle at Ulverston great views over Morecambe bay and driveable if taking in sunkenkirk

Some interesting topics but the whole crop-circle, re-birthing stuff is far too New Age-y for me, I am afraid. Shame though, some of it looks OK

Just an idea - how about the weekend of 19th - 21st June?? No school holidays, weather may be more clement (although no promises as this is Cumbria) and I have an idea that it may be quite a significant date for some strange reason?????
I can post some details of local B&Bs if you want and we can take if from there?
Let me know what you think

That weekend sounds pretty good actually (it's the one weekend in summer when the Avebury Megameet would probably not take place). Info on B&Bs up your way would be great.

I would like to attend as it sounds like a good reason for exploring that part of the world (not that I really need one). Therefore, if we can get a date sorted then I can organise the time off with work.
And getting some ideas of B&B's in the area would be great.
Not sure if Rex will be able to attend as he has been through the mill a bit lately and may not be up to it.
Happy New Year to all by the way

Happy New Year everyone!

Ach! sorry to hear that scubi. Be good if you can make it though. If the weekend of the 19th-21st June is the one our northern friends are planning on, maybe the Avebury Meet could be held at the end of July or beginning of August.
Nigel, what do you think?
