Right, anyone up for some Midlands shenanigans? I was thinking about going up either mid-july or mid-august. Saturday we'd drive up and probably do some peak district twisties, staying near the park so we could get in early Sunday and ride till we puke http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif .
Whadda you reckon folks?
It seemed a good idea when we talked about it last month http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
If we get a decent group I'll call Alton Towers to talk abt discounts and parking http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Cheers
Chuck

Most definitely up for this - would prefer mid-August if poss (away July), but whatever the people decide... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Plus, whoever makes Dom go green first gets a free ice cream http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I'm favouring 11/12 August weekend http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Almost forgot the Karting on 14 July http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

Sounds like a gas.... let me know http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Don't forget to stop in for a coffee (hmm, more like beer I expect! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif) on the way past folks.

Actually, I haven't been to Alton Towers for ages - why is it you don't go to the good places right on your doorstep? Probably russle up a few of the Staffs folks to come along for some fun if you want.

I will change my dates to match yours, maybe even bring some more southern Scoobys.

Let me!!!! let me!!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Count me in....might get a few of the Leeds lads to come down on the day to Alton Towers....tho may not make the drive....

Rum

Sounds like we may be able to have a small wager on this, how about - you all choose a ride to go on and put your money where your BIG MOUTHS are and if i'm not ill then I keep all your cash???

Ok, will be in touch with AT this week and try n track down some local B&B's.
I think Nicki wants the Chocolate suite at AT's hotel though. Hmmmmmmm If we book that for Dom I'm sure the chowder will fly the next morning http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif , perhaps and expensive way to wina bet though....
Chuck

Kewl.....count me and Chris in http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Sal http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Depending on the date i'm up for it.

Won't be doing the road thing cos my 4 year old pukes if I enjoy myself round the bends.

Please keep me informed.

Chuck, I always stay at the marriot in the centre of leeds.

It is a great hotel, and executive rooms can be had for £53 including breakfast for a double room at weekends.

A VERY large and VERY boozy Saturday night http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Need you ask Chuck....??? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Goes without saying surely http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

So, since camping seems to be all the rage on scoobynet is anyone up or some canvas action the Saturday night?
Weekend 11/12 August is the one!
Chuck

Sorry Chuck, I'm allergic to tents, camping stoves, sleeping bags, lack of hot water/sleep, grass and fresh air...the list does go on http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Sleep in the car then u whinger http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Ditto what Kim said.....I shudder at the mere thought of camping http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Give me a king size bed, en-suite bathroom and a large mini-bar any day... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

OK OK enough! (Soft southern pansy-wimmin http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif )
Well I guess I'm gonna have to find a list of Hotels nearby and we'll book 'em on a 'first come, first served' basis.
We looking for a large, boozy Saturday night?

this looks like it could be quiet funny

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

TTT - why? Cos I'm pished!

See

Just a warning guys!

I was there this Saturday, and it was heaving!

The Oblivion and the Nemesis had queues over an hour and half. Oblivion broken down three times, with people still on the ride at various points.

I went on 5 rides over the whole day! And that includes the Monorail from the car park!

I would think twice before going on a weekend again!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

The teacups are tops though!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Andy

Well Andy, you've had time for at least 1 thought, think again and then add your name to this list! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Stoke on Trent seems a fine idea, so I guess I'll be wanting to firm up the numbers , who wants an Hotel?
1 - Me n Nicki http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Chuck,

Dont forget, Bedford Speed n' Feed 2 is on 10th August....

Anyway, put us down http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

2. Me n' Linda.
