I'm heading out for a blast on January 24th as long as it isn't too snowy/foggy, route is below if anyone fancies joining in.

Meeting point The Sun Inn near Wackerfield on the A688 around 9am, leaving roughly 9.30.

The route I've posted below is the latest updated map with the correct start point. The route heads straight up to Hexham first then south west and over the Hartside pass. Back north to Brampton then the final bit south east back to the starting point along the A689 and B6277.

Alston figure of 8

I've got my MX-5 BBR Super 200, my mates who are thinking of going are in a Fiesta ST and a Clio V6. All marques will be welcome, looks like one or two people are coming along from MX5Nutz forums as well. Looks like the snow will be non-existent.

Without really knowing Barnard Castle I'm thinking the Morrison's car park about 9-9.30am as a meeting point?

Meeting point changed, see 1st post

You don't half plan ahead laugh

I'm interested and I'll ask a mate with an Exige as well.

Might be up for it and and bring the little Twingo rs??? or 1 of the puma's . Morrisons car park is a torturous place even when it's quite! There is quite a lot of roads within your circuit that are very good. Never been a fan of heartside tbh.
Not long joined the forum so it would be nice to meet some other petrol heads.

Any idea where would be good to meet around Barnard? I don't know the town that well and just suggested it as I'd seen it passing through

West Auckland there is a big retail park with plenty of space or a pub called the sun inn at wackerfield . Both are easy to get to and have space .

The Sun Inn at Wackerfield looks perfect just on the A688

Hopefully the weather will hold out, bit of a long run but loads of fun to be had on some of my favourite roads. Quite a few interested on MX5Nutz as well along with a couple of my mates. Should be a really good day

Might be an idea to keep an eye on this thread in the week leading up and the day before the meet is to go ahead just in case the weather turns and it's called off.

North of Buttertubs around Blanchland, Hartside Pass and Teesdale. Google map in the OP shows the planned route
