I'd guess that it's at least an hour and a >half from there to Bedford. I'd have guessed that he could be in Cumbria by 11am without resorting to a really stupid start time then it's probably 7 hours ride home. Quite an easy day out really.

I could have sorted something out pretty easily a week or so back but because I'm on outage work at the power stations from the week after next my van is going to be full of equipment for a while.

At least the ride back is a little shorter than >from Penrith as you join the M6 at jct 37 not 40. I can give anyone a lift to Kendal but I only get to the office at lunchtime on a Monday and Kendal to Seascale using public transport might be a bit awkward meaning a later departure for the ride home.

Not very fast at all but the >connections work OK and you can at least do the trip by train. Seascale >is a request stop so tell the guard you want the train to stop! > If that's the case then leaving home 30 minutes earlier would mean I could drop off in Lancaster between 10:30 and 11:00 which would put the delivery boy in Seascale a couple of hours earlier making the journey home a lot easier. I can also drop off said delivery boy at Oxenholme because that's less than 10 minutes drive from our office and might offer up better alternatives. Of course this could all be blown out by me receiving an email telling me I'm required elsewhere but that's just another variable. >�18.50 single. That's not bad and would obviously be reduced if the Kendal - Lancaster leg was removed. |
