Fred Whitton help- lift to train station on way back
Bit embarrassed to ask this but if anyone is going back to anywhere near a major train station after the Fred and would be willing to give me and the bike a lift to a train station that would be fantastic.
There are engineering works at Oxenholme so I can't seem to work out a way to get home on my own steam. Liverpool, Warrington, Manchester, Preston basically anywhere I can get back to London that night.
I'm hoping to get round in about 9 hours so hopefully will be finished around 3 or 4
If you have any other suggestions I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on a descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

For online lift-hunting, try www.blablacar.com. Maybe someone would divert off the M6 if you asked nicely.
You could see if the organisers or a local transport firm would help out - could be a bit of money in it for them if they could recruit a few more. Try www.westerndalesbus.co.uk.
If you can bag the bike in a compact form you might get away with the regular Stagecoach 555 service from Kendal to Lancaster - but that's a risk and it might be better to check ahead with them. A 'coach' type bus would have space in the hold but not a regular town bus.
Or as CXR94Di2 suggested, car hire. If you took a train to Manchester Airport you could probably get a cheap car and be in the Lakes pretty quickly. You might even find someone else to help recoup the cost (blablacar again).
Car hire?
