There will then be time for a freshen up before coming together for drinks and dinner.
On the Sunday morning the time will be your own or to move onto Keswick for sightseeing. We pull put together a fun and interesting route home which you will be free to follow at your own leisure. The plans will firm up as we get closer.
The cost will be £110 per room for dinner, bed and breakfast for which you need to book direct with the hotel on 01434 381584 quoting reference "Porsche Club". You will be asked to make a £50 deposit which is returnable as long as cancellation is given at least 72 hours in advance. The rooms are available on first come first served basis with ten rooms initially being put aside (two gone already). Currently the hotel has plenty of extra rooms available if the weekend proves popular but these rooms cannot be held indefinitely.
