is anybody heading down from (or through) Cumbria and going down the A65 ?

Be good to meetup with a few and convoy to the show.

[lord summerisle]

Well, i was planning on going up that lovely road - the A682, so could carry on and meetup around Long Preston

Sounds like a plan. Yeah I could easily meetup at Long Preston.
Maybe sort out times closer to the date?

[lord summerisle]

certainly sounds likea plan forming...

[flashgitindenial]

I'll be going from South Manchester if there are any of the motley crew travelling from the same locale maybe we could be fellow travellers|?

[AJI]

flash - there's a few of us meeting up at Long Preston on the A65 if you're interested?
Meetup cars include two Supras, a GT-four or two, MX5 and a couple of others.
Your TVR would be a good addition. ;-)

[lord summerisle]

Aye Flash(! ahAAAAAAHHH!) come up the M60/M66 to rawtenstall, cross to Bacup to meet up with us. and then blast over to Long Preston to meet the fellas coming down from North Lancs.

Could be the beginings of a plan. Can we have some timings for the rendevous points?

[lord summerisle]

well tis an excuse to drive down the 682 to see how long it takes. (i seem to remember from going to Giggleswick/settle last summer theres a layby to the right of the A65 (as you head southwards) just before you enter Long Preston with a porter cabin truckers diner that we can do the meet up at there...

---> AJI - any idea what time you'll be heading down?

dont think it'll take more than 3/4hr to get bacup/long preston - tis only about 30 miles

[AJI]

I know the lay-by in question..... plenty of space for numerous cars and a perfect meet point.
I was planning on heading down around mid-day ish. Is that a decent time?
So I guess 12:00(mid-day) at the layby? Nice round number.

[AJI]

p.s.
this event still will be determined by the weather for me I must point out.
If it's pi$$ing down then the probability is that there won't be all that much to see at the show.
But it will have to be a proper bad prediction before I decide not to go. A bit of rain is no put off for us northerners ;-)

[lord summerisle]

went past on friday - got it wrong, the layby i was thinking of is after long preston - just before you enter Hellifield

There are some roadworks at Gargrave ATM, but shouldn't hold us up too much.
