Generally liking this Geo.
I deffo want to stop with Doreen - heard great reports from a mate who's been.
I was thinking meet on a Friday too (I can finish early from work and get a train and be in St Bees for about 7pm).
I'd like to have a day off in the middle - perhaps Richmond so there'd be something to do? How do you feel about this? We'd be able to have a few the night we arrive in Richmond and when we finish
Either finish walking on Saturday & travel back Sunday or, if the Monday is a Bank Holiday (or I've got enough holiday), finish walking Sunday travel back Monday (although trains might be problematic on a Bank Holiday).
That would be either 14, 15 or 16 days walking depending when we finish and whether we take a 1 day break.

Have played about with it, giving us a two night stopover at Richmond. I marked in Doreens Place at Keld but can you find out the name of the place?
The Old School at Danby Wiske has a lot of really good reviews and is run by someone called Doreen. Need to check if this is her place as I would be removing Daby Wiske as a stop over if taking a 2 day break at Richmond.
PM me your email addy and we can pass the sheet back n forth with any amendments/suggestions.
Geo
BTW, I've booked this period off already as it's usually a difficult time for us to get hols, but I do have a wee bit leeway.

Now is your Luton piss-up a closed shop?
No, you'd be very welcome. Stick your name down here and that'll have the added bonus of bumping it back on to the front page

Make it cycling instead of walking, 3 days instead of a fortnight, and I'm in.

Off for a stroll from home to Bradgate Park and back tomorrow. I might treat myself to a coffee at the Tea Room at Newtown Linford. Should be about 18 miles. If the forecast is right, it ought to be quite pleasant.
Back for some Heineken Cup rugby then the APAT league game.
Tom, would you like to join the Notts team? It'd be great to have you.

I'm a bit worried about the navigating though.

That looks like a tester. Are you doing it on your own or with your good lady? Do you think you'll do it in 12 hours or less?
I'm not great at navigating - I can read a map well enough to follow a footpath (in Leicestershire which must be one of the best counties for way-marking footpaths). I have a GPS I use to tell me the mileage and if I'm in doubt, it tells me where I am to the nearest few metres.
I'm hoping Geo's going to teach me the art when we're trekking across the north of England next year.
Actually, I know the 'mechanics' of it, but until I actually see it applied in a practical situation, I'm struggling to 'get it'.
Oh, and if you're back from DTD before 8pm it'd be great to have you join us
(God loves a tryer). The info you need is in the links in my signature.
But good luck at Nottingham.

I'm doing it with my son-in -law and my nephew.
I have the body of a Greek God, and I'm as wick as a woodlouse, but they have a tendency to become a bit porky if they don't have anything to train for.
Last year we did a 100 mile bike ride, and my nephew ate 20+ bread rolls with various fillings along the way.

That was a toughy!
I think my fitness level has dropped a tad from what it was.
I set off just before 9 and got to Bradgate Park about 2 hours later. I headed off up the park hill and made it to the war memorial without stopping.
I only stopped then because I was hoping to get some photos of the memorial. Unfortunately it looks like my new camera has got to be returned as, more often than not, it had a purple cast straight from switch-on. Occasionally it would switch on and be fine - I got a few photos but not many.
It's a lovely park with views over the city. It's populated with deer - I manage to get a pic of a stag chewing the cud (if deer do such a thing!?). The only problem is that half of Leicestershire rock up there at the weekend!
I got there about half an hour too early. The mist & clouds cleared away and the views improved accordingly.
When I got back down, I treated myself to a large latte in the tea rooms, whilst managing to resist temptation in the form of some spectacular looking cakeage!
The sun was out for the whole of the return leg and was surprisingly warm.
I got back home just before 3, making the 17½ mile trip in a fraction over 6 hours.
