any one fancy a run on and around the woodhead pass on a midweek evening?

Roads tend to be quite and would be good of making use of the light nights before it goes all dark and gloomy again.

Provisional date of wednesday the 5th of August now penciled in. I will check the weather the day before and unless it pissing it down it will still be on.

meet up at a pub called the dog and partridge located here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-...

meet at 7:30pm for a 8pm depart. route i have planned takes about an hour so everyone should be on there way home for 9 ish or we could head back up the dog and partridge for a drink if people like.

so whos in?

just to note because im a big pussy and dont like driving quick in the rain there will probably only be a couple of days notice to when this will actually take place.

Kind regards

Alex

Work's pretty hardcore at the moment so I can't commit, but if I'm free I'll be there. Thursday night is the Wheatsheaf meet so that's out, but any other night should be fine.

Are you still in the Cooper S? Weren't you looking at changing?

I don't have it; thought I did, maybe I didn't have your surname in and wiped it on a recent mission to clear out the address book chaff. Message it to me on Facebook or something?

Hope I can make it tomorrow if you don't mind me tagging along at the back? Hopefully I'll recognise some of the route, earlier this year the rear of my car looked like this biggrin:

ok, its raining over here at the moment but its only light and the weather forecast is good for later on so everything is still going ahead.

My number is xxxxxxxxxxxx. please ring me if your lost, running late etc.

Couple of things i want to mention.

1. Although the carpark at the pub is a good size im not sure how busy it will be so if we cant all fit in i will move across the road to a layby which is pretty much bang opposite the pub on the left hand side as you come down the hill.

2. No silly overtaking. dont worry about losing the pack as if everyone follows rule 3 then we should all stay together.

3. If you see the car infront turning off somewhere please check your mirror to make sure that the cars behind can still see you. if they cant then try and slow down as much as you can until they are in sight. If everyone follows this rule then we should all stick together no problems.

See you all later smile
