The wanderers social weekend started 20 years ago as the DB7 Wanderers but has been open to all Aston Martins for many years. In 2026 it is being organised by me Gary Ungless (to be honest, with a lot of assistance from my wife Liz) and we will be spending the weekend in the Lake district.
Registration is kept as simple as possible. You book the hotel on a private basis for as many nights as you wish to stay.
You don't need to be a subscriber to AstonOwners.com to attend, but we do ask that you come along in your Aston Martin.
For the 2026 event, which is on 5/6/7 June, we will be staying at the Lake District Castle Inn, in the northern lake district. I have visited the hotel and found it welcoming with helpful and friendly staff. I was also given some good recommendations from locals I know who live in the area.
I go to this beautiful area every year for a sailing event, so I know it well. There is much less traffic than the tourist spots in the south, and some great drives on quiet roads. There are also many walks available to some great locations. I would recommend staying for extra nights to get the most from your visit. Liz and I are booked to stay from Thursday through to Sunday.
If you wish to attend please book directly with the hotel online, using the link below and advise them that you are with the Aston Martin group.

You should book dinner, bed and breakfast for the nights you wish to stay. The hotel currently has a good selection of rooms available. The hotel will arrange for us to have dinner together, but to do this we will have to pre-book and order what we want from the menu. I will arrange this later.
Direct booking prices are slightly discounted from the myriad of hotel booking sites available online as the hotel does not have to pay the commissions to the booking websites.
When you have booked, please email me your booking reference. I will then add you to my distribution list and keep you informed of the full arrangements, which will include visits to local places of interest and drive outs.
