Wheatsheaf meet 28-May-09

[CK86]

are we having the monthly tyre-kick this month? don't see any topics for it as yet, so i guess i'll start!
copied from planetdave's intro from last-months topic but all still relevant!

The usual format is to get there for a drive out leaving the car park at about 7:30 and taking an hour or so.

I don't know any of the routes so we'll need someone to step forward with one that we used last year.

Newbies - don't be put off by thinking you can't keep up or your car is 'not worthy'. Either blag a ride (lots of spare passenger seats usually available) or tag along with one of our notorious slowcoaches

For sat-navs the postcode is WA11 7TA

Copy and paste the list below and add your username (plus car if you like) into a new post - but make sure you do it right or Lois (horourary copy and paste nazi) will beat you up

here goes!

Was waiting for this so Im up for the meet again and I know one route if you get stuck for a run?

Just-In - Mk6 Celica ST

[planetdave]

Phew - someone else took the bait. I don't mind organising or leading the run - but I don't know either of the two usual routes (and no-one wanted to ride shotgun with me last month to navigate) so I'm keeping one of those legendary low profiles. Yes, it's a tyre

Anywho - the weather looks good and I have fuel in the car so I should be there.

Anyone got maps of either route?

[CK86]

thanks Sim89

does anyone know a route we can do??

[edit]...
okay, as i've only done this once before, i've drafted up a route...
i've tried to pick half tight twisty sections and half wider roads too, but avoiding where possible major towns/villages.... hopfully i's a good route.

i will be making a sat-nav inventory file do-dad thingybob for a Tomtom Go 300, hopfully compatitable with most sat-navs.

if anyone has any suggestions (or wishes to take over as planner), please do make them public!!

[planetdave]

Just-In says he knows a route.

I'm game for a new one - but if you haven't driven it it's a bit risky - the routes we have are tested beforehand.

If only a few of us turn up then why the hell not - but I'd be very happy doing Formby again.

You scared of that curb CK?
