Hello all,
Northern Meet 3, Sunday 30th April 2000, East bound side of Birch services, on the M62 between J18/19, 10 am meet.
If you enjoyed Northern Meet 2, I am confident you will enjoy No 3 just as much.
Final stop is at the Nont Saras pub, like last time. I have about 10 people who have already expressed interest. A possible Gold Leaf Team Lotus Elise, a 22B or Evo 6, tough choice for some, a Westfield Seven,and possibly a Hot Ford, along with the compulsory Impreza turbo's.
My original thread with the route has been removed, probably for the best, but now I will have to gauge numbers, based on your responses, to create hard copies of the route.

Can we still go past the windmills?

 

Boomer,
Sorry, no we aren't this time. How long have you had this fetish?
Read your E mail by the way.
Are you attending THE MEET.

I hope to be able to make the meet.

As we now finish at "The Nont", maybe we can have an un-official trip up to the windmills after lunch? It wouldn't be part of the official meet (i would love to create the route, but i am in Brum and can't check the roads), but if anyone was interested in windmills, then it would be nice trip.

Big, tall, white windmills - with their sails whooshing just like a turbo. Calm yet powerful, silent yet strong - er, anyway - does anyone else fancy seeing the windmills?

Well, now, I can see those windmills off to my left as I drive over Nont Sarah's most mornings to work, they often look like giants to me and sometimes I want to veer off and fight them.

Ha, ha. Actually they are off towards Howarth I think and Howarth has a chippy...... and a steam railway that does Sunday lunches. (Book in advance, there's no chance on the day apparently.) I'll be game if I can get to the meet.

 

Wow - i never realised!

There are some _more_ windmills up towards Howarth (on Ovenden Moor at OS SE-042-315). However, i don't think that there is a through road past them.

Ooooh, the 30th sounds fantastic!!!

Oh, and for the benefit of the windmill-challenged folks - the original farm that i referred to is at Coal Clough (OS SD896284-ish), on the road that joins Mereclough to Mytholm (sorry, the number is not marked on my map).

Hey! I'm in the process of buying a house on the windmill road

I'd invite you all round for tea but it might scare the neighbours to be

 

I really enjoyed Northern Meet 2...a fantastic day out. Well worth the trip from Plymouth.

Sadly I am on the continent on the 30th otherwise I would have been delighted to attend.

Mick,

i was born up the road in Clitheroe, so i know the Fylde Coast windmills well!

Maybe that is why i am getting soooo excited about the 30th?
