How to get there?

'Meet and greet'- evening pub meal at Cockermouth before we make way to Swallow Barn.
Why Cockermouth?
Cockermouth is the nearest town to our camping barn – Swallow, about 7 miles away. I will prior arrange a mini bus to us to our camping barn, so it is very important for everyone to be there on time – otherwise, you will have to call a taxi service.
How much the mini bus fare costs?
Not sure yet. This Dial-A-Ride service is provided by local council and Ken Routledge. Ken undertakes private hire as well as routine schedule. As a guide, here is his 949 service leaflet (pdf file).
This is a preliminary arrangement. I will update you all once I have spoke to Ken Routledge. If there is any change, mostly it will be around the time we make way to Swallow barn.
(Busying today, talk to you lot once I got more time)

I'll start collecting the tokens from Daily Mail today.
For those don't know what this Token is about, Brian refers to the Daily Mail+Virgin Train offers, started on Feb. Thanks 西厢 for her great tips original posted at lkcn, check it here.
Basically this offer gives you very bargain rate for travelling by train on weekdays off-peak time. A typical London to Penrith one way ticket costs 10 pounds (cross 4 fare stages), Manchester to Penrith costs 5 pounds.
You need to collect Daily Mail tokens for this. It seemed that a set of token will allow you buy up to four sets of tickets.
Don't miss it. (Otherwise London to Penrith could be a 60 pounds + business)
thanks a lot toad.
see you soon.
wishing you all a warm spring festival!
