Alan,
Quite a few Scottish guys, including myself, have played at the South Lakes event a few times and enjoyed it very much. It's fairly easy to travel to by car and lies about fifteen minutes away from the M6 junction. There is a railway connection too, about ten minutes walk from the venue but I think you have to change at Lancaster and double back. Accommodation in this quaint Victorian seaside resort can be pricey though. We have taken tents to a nice campsite nearby plus used the travelodge at Barrow-in-Furness roughly twenty five minutes away. It's in a lovely setting, the Cumbrian Grand hotel overlooking the bay. Well worth considering.
