I'm trying to work out the best way to meet for this drive out. Some of you are coming from North of the snake pass, and the majority from the South.
I was going to do a route from the Unicorn to the SP, but it's very "bitty", and I guarantee we'd lose someone on the way there
I'll have a think about it, unless you lot can come up with a good suggestion!

2 Mini groups, some at the h&h and some at unicorn. Then all meet at Snake pass.
H&H is easier for me, and it means I wont be going all the way up to the unicorn then coming all the way back on myself.

I'd not thought of that warren, good idea. Easy enough for everyone to get to from other motorways as well. All the cheshire lads can do m56,m60,m67
That might just work

We can then send off groups through Glossop and up the snake. I was thinking of going off in order of the colour of your car No, really! Imagine the sight as all the blue, silver and black scoobys come trundling through Glossop Would be pretty cool (although a little anorak )

chris.

I'll sort the list out in colour order after picking the kids up in a mo'

Street lights in Glossop, whatever next!

The trouble is under streetlights its hard to tell the colour of one car from the next. This could be the test run for a proper CCC (Colour Coded Convoy) in the summer.

Ok, I've made a decision

Meet at the OUTSIDE INN on the roundabout at the end of the M67. Meet time is 19:30, for a depart of 19:45. We will head off in the above order, as there are people in each group that know the way to the snake. It's not a hard route, head for GLOSSOP, then head for SHEFFIELD

Let me know if you want to eat at the snake inn, as we'll let them know in advance.
Any problems, let me know.

chris.

I sense someone might be getting a little excited at the thought of the CCC!

Do we know if there is an overspill carpark at the pub? Not the easiest parking to get if I remember and quite limited on size.
