I'm quite partial to Ambleside - Relatively easy to get to, some cheap camping. On the downside, often wet, crawling with tourists.
One question though - Did you have any specific dates in mind ?
Paul, we usually do it in the following order:-
Everyone chipping in with their suggestions for locations
All vote on the choice of locations
Suggestions then vote on possible dates Bob came up with a cunning plan for this years Spring Meet to vote for all of the dates that you could make.
Having settled on a date we look for a suitable Hotel in the location there are usually one or two APUGers in the area who volunteer to do the scouting round and come up with suggestions.
(We tend to use a hotel as Base Camp but its very much up to the individual for instance Ian Grant camped with his cousin in Cornwall but came over to the Hotel in the evening to socialise and look at each others prints)
Finally everyone suggests their favourite photographic locations but we are all free to do our own thing however, there is often a main and one or more splinter groups each day.
The weekends are mainly a social get together and the opportunity to explore a new area for photographic possibilities.
The taking of actual photographs is very much a secondary affair (a large group of photographers collected together is not generally considered to be a recipe for great photographs)
Everyone is amazingly friendly and welcoming to new faces.
I was a new face at the Spring 08 meeting in Seahouses and was welcomed into the group immediately.
