Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 How does the July 25th (SUNDAY) sound meet up real early (about 7ish) - Peterbrough Cathedral (will need to check gate opening as I went later in the day the other week and the barrier was down but the week before nice and early it was open) Burghly House (were they have the horse trials - very nic country estate house with dear in the park etc) Seaton Viaduct (as seen in pictures - huge 1m long brick bridge over pretty valley) Yewtree Avenue (very long row of topueried trees - oh the spelling ) will stop of at each location - take pictures of the cars if we can get them where needed plus any other location that is suggested (in and around this location) that we can think of - Mark your idea of rutland water sounds great but where can we get down to the waters edge? and then somewhere for a picnic for those that want? Talking to some of you about this and bearing in mind a few of the roads I have in mind I think we should make this a gentle ride with a few little bits of quicker stuff for those that want - just enjoy the countryside more details to follow, but if enough people to "yes" to this date I will post more details ASAP let me know I fank u muchly of and it is weather dependant as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Cleggy, If you do the 'Round Rutland Water Trip' try and reach the Horse & Jockey pub at Manton which is a favourite lunch time visit for the TVR club and also my local so I can vouch for it being a super pub with good food.

Bobby Breeze Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hey Cleggy If family/work/band commitments allow I'd be interested in a photographic scenery tour. Hopefully I'd be OK to start with you at Peterborough, if not I could meet up on route. Rutland Water is about 30ish miles for me, Peterborough about 60. Cheers Dave.

scruffythefirst Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I might have the car on the road this weekend, before going off to work for a couple of months on monday. Not properly mapped yet, so shakedown run at reduced power only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not properly mapped yet, so shakedown run at reduced power only. this run out probably wont be until later this year - maybe a couple of months away I was thinking probably a few weeks after the local lads get back from there trip over to Wales will get a date sorted soon but looks like we have enough interest to make me get my finger out and start planning a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampy56 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 hey Paul - alright m8 thanks - would be good to have you along "if you can keep up" how's you? All is good, off to Bedford Autodrome Friday, will try not to spin it! Then taking to Atom to south of France in a few weeks. Told the wife it will be nice and warm ( if it rains I'm dead meat ). Will have to pop round and see how your Project is coming along. Ive now got an HD cam(with suction clamps and roll bar mounts) that you can borrow for your driving day, if you've not allready got one.

markcoopers Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I am always up for an early blat. Did a bit of this for my "favourite road" article last year. If we could we would want to get to the sunken church at rutland and get a reflective water shot. Or on one of the slipways. Viaduct is good parked mine in arape field the other day....migt find a straw field later in the year though Bell pub in stilton. Oundle Yarn or memorial? loads of places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
