Amanda & I have nearly finished the route after 180 miles around the finest Derbyshire roads on Sunday and we only got held up once by the Bank Holiday Traffic.

We have a whole pub at our disposal for the start brief, with tea & coffee on tap!

So get y'asses darn ere if thy ain't oredy!

Michelle, How did <B>you</B>manage to do that when you were still in bed

Sorry folks, Twas I, bit of an alcohol induced identity crisis above

(BTW the route isn't 180 miles - we just did a few 'options')

Just in case you are not from Derbyshire, that is the equivalent of being able to circumnavigate the M25 at 5pm on a Friday

or do the M6 southbound from j11 to j6 on a weekday morning!

What roads!

Can't make on a Sunday I'm afraid. Have to kick a bag of wind around a field. Have a nice trip, and try to run as many caravans off the road as possible

Chris (CW),
Just realised I've double booked with the York meet and it's a tad closer to home.
Next time mate.

Unhappy

Mellow: If I was not on this I would probably be going up to York too. I would love to do a NYM run and was talking about it yesterday on the way back from Sunderland.

Have a good time up there & make sure you make our next one (some awesome roads!)

As long as I've not had some ****** try to car-jack me again I'll be there with my other half in tow.

Just don't let her drive any of the cars ;-)

Route is now complete, just a few minor details to sort out & we are ready.

The route is a mix of all sorts of road, fast, slow, straights, twisty bits, hairpins, moors, valleys, hills - even scenary(if the weather is any better than today )
So there really is something for everyone!

Start will be about 10-10:30, lunch at a pub, finish about 16:30-17:00ish at another pub with easy access to routes home.

<I>It's certainly easier to recce than Wales </I>

Question

Would anyone be offended if I turned up in a Skoda? By then it should be run in, nodding dog installed, picnic rug on parcel shelf, a nice thermos of tea and some sarnies all ready to go. Actually it just needs some exercise and its better than driving aimlessly around on my own trying to find some decent roads.

Yep, come along, but It would be wise not to bring the nodding dog, and you'd better make sure your flask is well fastened & secured
