My only doubt, other than weather, is the traffic. I drove around that area a couple of months ago it was a weekday and fairly quiet. What's it like this time of year on a Sunday?
From the end poor at Pooley Bridge to your end point will be a clear run as the A66 & A595 are good wide roads, more so on a Sunday even at this time of year.
Edit: Just read that again. Been over Honister many times on weekdays and weekends, never been an issue with lots of traffic. Summer obviously has more but never been held up.

I'll get the children out on a sun dance mate ........ if I can;
1. Get them out of bed
2. Get them off their electronic devices
Good luck with that Andy!
Years of bitter experience shows that you're on to a looser there. Kids turn nocturnal. Allergic to any kind of natural light.
Beer and pizza can sometimes be used as an inducement but even that soon wears off.

No worries...we have also been forced to change our plans because the hotel we booked has a burst pipe and is flooded. The alternative they have found us is further south in Dalton-in-Furness....not ideal but the only option other than cancelling the trip.

And you are only 15-20 mins from the museum
leaving at 2pm 3 hour drive
We'll be at the Clarence House Hotel. 20 minutes is fine but the original hotel was only 5 minutes from the museum.

Can't be cancelling the trip can we!! Surprised you even contemplated it. Definitely not an option now that the sun has been arranged.
Today I will mostly be washing my Zed in the rain because she's a tad dirty. By the time I get off the wet farm track and to the start point she will be dirty again but there's no excuse for leaving in a dirty car
