Small airfields in Cumbria / Lake District

Afternoon all,

I am looking at potentially taking a light ac to the Lake District area in the next few weeks, for a few days. Barrow-In-Furness is the absolute perfect location, is it available for visitors at the weekends? What other options are there?

Fuel would be nice, but I doubt there is anywhere to get that other than Blackpool. I see there is Kirkbride airfield, although I cant find any contact details for them. They are a little further north than I would of liked anyway.

Cark is an option, but the runway is a little on the short size for the aircraft I will be bringing. There is a gliding site on my map, unnamed, between Kendal and the M6. I found the name of it earlier but can't find it again - maybe they would accept a light ac?

Any help and advice is appreciated!

Many thanks

E
