Beginner in Ambleside Sunday 01st to Wednesday 04th MArch

Hello!

I'm going to Lake District for first time this Saturday evening 28th Feb and back to London next Wednesday midday. I'm planning to stay at a hostel or cheap b&b and visit local cycles shops around Ambleside for advice, info and maps (Biketreks...).
Anyone to hang around with? I see BIketreks organizes something.
By the way, this is my first post
Great forum with loads of useful info! It's just bad luck my computer died 12 days ago and I'm really struggling to organize this trip propperly, ouch!

Cheers,

Hi I would highly recommend the B&B called Kays Cottage in Windermere: 01539444146, lady who owns it is called Jean and she is lovely. Rooms are fantastic and very comfy.
For a nice ride: go to bowness, ride the ferry to hawkshead then take the right and ride the side of the lake to Ambelside - nice warm up ride!

Have fun, Darren

Hi Darren,
The Kays Cottage looks superb but I'm on a tight budget and finally I've booked first night at Ambleside backpackers hostel and the other 3 nights at lake District Backpackers Hostel in Windermere(at £12.50 per night!).

I'll check that route...and many more!

Thanks a lot for the info.
