Shropshire (Wales?) and Newcott Chippy NWKCOG Meet.

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

I visited Llandudno last Saturday with the family and realise it was two years since my last blat into Wales. I'd seen the NWKCOG had a lunch time meet planned for today, so I suggested to a few, how about a blat into Wales first. 

 

Some (well two), weren't so keen on my suggested leave home time of 6am, so I met @Tony H , @M8KWR Dave Fleet (Orange Mev)  Luay Mustafa just outside Trentham Garden's. As I was travelling there @andyjs spotted I was out and joined us with his Caterham pilot friend Scott.

 

On my way there I took this pic-

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just arrived outside Trentham Gardens

 

We then headed over to Audlem to meet @CosKev  Tony Hallam (Tiger owner with a Saab Turbo engine).

 

 

Kev had kindly put a great run together for us, but due to the later than wanted start time we weren't likely to get as far into Wales as I'd hoped for.

 

 

Here's are route. Some great roads.

 

 

 

A brief stop to water the plants.

 

Found this interesting car at a fuel stop in Shrewsbury. Only 1 made it's a McEwen and Pete it's owner and driver was in it!

 

He's a kiwi but lived in the UK since the 80's. The car is 600kgs and powered by a 2.5L EcoBoost currently running at 300bhp. Mainly used on track.

 

 

 

@CosKev & Tony Hallam needed to head to their respective homes, so I led the six others to the Newcott Chippy.

 

 

Lot's of fake snakes and a few 7's!
