About us

Penrith and Kendal Advanced Motorists traces its origins back to 1964.

Beginning as the Cumberland and Westmoreland Group based in Penrith with affiliation to the IAM the group has helped hundreds of people to develop their driving and motorcycling skills in this beautiful part of the country over the last 50 years. In 2008 the Group changed its name to Penrith and North Lakes Advanced Motorists.

As recently as 9th November 2015 the group merged with the Kendal and South Lakes Advanced Motorists to form a new and larger group with over 230 members. The group serves all of central and south Cumbria and extends south into Lancashire as far as Lancaster.
