I appreciate we haven't got Darley out of the way yet, but i was wondering what accommodation people were thinking of using for Preston/Lancs, and where, bearing in mind Preston is on the Saturday??

I'm interested too in any recommended (non-canvas) accommodation. My web searches are showing very few affordable vacancies over that weekend Preston or Lancaster areas...... indeed, even 4* hotel single availability like hen's teef....

I stayed in the Travelodge on the M6 when I went up there a couple of years ago... I got a really good deal on one of their silly £10 a night offers I think...

Usual rate is £36.85 if you book in advance...

Anybody up for camping?     <tumbleweed>

So Alan, was that £10 the walk on fare, without booking and taking a chance on availability?

No it was one of their internet promotions - I booked it well in advance.
Nothing like that available at the moment so it looks like it would be £36...
 
Not sure I'm going up yet but I'll probably camp/kip in the van if I do...

As one who grew up in the area, look around the towns and villages between Preston and Lancaster: Broughton, Barton, Brock, Bilsborrow, Catterall, Garstang, Galgate, St. Michaels, Churchtown, Calder Vale (out on't moors), Caton, Winmarleigh, Cockerham, Glasson.  Even Morecambe's not that far from Preston, plus off the A6 to the west you've got the whole Fylde out to and including Blackpool, although I'd understand if you didn't want to go there.
