stephenh Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Mrs H cant make this one, so there is a spare seat available in the lead car, if anyone is interested. Sowts has first refusal (did you get my pm?) and it is open to anyone else interested if he doesn't want it. Only thing, the passenger seat is quite high because of Mrs H being a tad vertically challenged, so you really do need to wear a crash helmet, just to protect your face/eyes from Derbyshire grit etc. If we have people coming from as far away as Leicestershire (!) we may have to split into 2 convoys, seperated by 5 or 10 mins. Depaends on numbers. I've produced 11 copies of my route card (goggle maps style) so there will be plenty of cars with means of navigating. I would suggest those with passengers should have first option of having a route card on board. I'm expecting good weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetstu Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Do the route cards include alternative options when we lose you at the islands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Stephen If you are not going up the A515 to Mayfield are you going to use the B5030 and 5032?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Phil, you have pm. I think your best place to meet us is Dovefields Retail Park, off Town Meadows Way in Uttoxeter. At least there you can park in safety, get petrol, get a soft drink, have a pee, or whatever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fent Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Afraid I'm gonna be a no show. Westy has been SORNed early this year in the hope that this will avoid the need to sell one of my cars. Am I not impressed. Have fun and hopefully see you all for a run next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenh Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Weather report is good. Please be at Gailey in time for a 10.30 departure, or soon after. Or at Dovefields Retail Park Uttoxeter before 11.15. Baring breakdowns we'll be at Bakewell Agricultural Centre by about 12.30. You MAY have to buy a ticket to park at the Agri. Centre, so bring a £1 coin or two for the meter. We got away with it last year because everyone was packing up after the Bakewell Show. They might be doing the same this year but I cant guarantee it!

Pew Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Stu you meeting us at Dobbies so you can take us through the resi to Uttoxeter... which is a far better that through Stafford....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Stu you meeting us at Dobbies so you can take us through the resi to Uttoxeter... which is a far better that through Stafford....! We can go over the 'Chase and the Reservoir if you want, or my preferred route would take us round Stafford, just skirting it at Baswich (past the Chief Constable's offices!!). Gooders knows the Chase way as well. Actually, if push comes to shove, so do I. I am coming over to Gailey, seeing as its my run. Hopefully, that will mean you dont all get lost by going thro' the centre of Uttoxeter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
