Think I have the Get Out of Jail Free card for the day. Anyone going from my end, as it were? Or is Northants the first stop?

Hi guys! Why not shoot down the A50 and join in the Derby convoy? - see Derby Big One thread for details

Lizzy

Could do the A50 thing. We'll be almost there by Derby though, surely? If anyone is up for the trip from Staffs to Derby then stick yer name here. Could start at my office in Stafford as per SM1 and go via Uttoxeter.

DodgeT

Ill be getting on the A50 at longton, so would probably meet you at McD's at Uttoxeter or something??

robman

Sounds like the start of a plan! Where is McDs in Uttox? I've only ever driven through it on the way to Derby :-)

DodgeT

Mcd's is on the roundabout, theres also a filling staion on the same side & a little chef & burger king on the other side.

Dodge drop me a line well meet up with you me and another

Leaving form hanley

I am going along the A50 from either the A500 or via Uttoxeter. I am not sure which way yet as I maybe picking Michelle up. Either way I can be at McD's on the A50. What time guys 11.15am-11.30am sound like a plan ?

I am assuming the McD's raoundabout is the sloping one with the thick white line in the middle and a Little Chief and Shell Station on the other side ?

Cheers

robman

Well, so long as we leave enough time to get to the Derby crew on time.

DodgeT

chrisp - yeh thats the one.

Catflap - do you know the normacot roundabout by the A50, theres a pizza place, hairdressers etc. could meet you there at 11??

Lizzywizz

Derby lot are hoping to leave at 11.15 as Charlie Whiskey's got a nice route over to Gunthorpe planned, so if you decide to join us you may need to leave a bit earlier than suggested

Lizzy

chrisp

It is Sunday and I didnt want too early start which is why I suggested 11.15 ish. I was planning going directly to Gunthorpe and not planning on the Derby drive though. I will pull onto McD's between 11.15 and 11.30 but I'll wait till 11.30. If you are going earlier I will see you guys there at the pub.

Cheers

ChrisP

I'm going to have my 2 year old nipper on board so will be looking for sensible speeds. Are you guys all wanting to have a "spirited" drive or just a gentle cruise?

chrisp

Robman I am looking for a nice sensible drive and enjoy the day, thats why I have given myself plenty of time, no rush.

robman

Ok, that sounds cool then. I'll try to be at McDs at 11:15 and meet up with Chrisp and whoever else is there. We can go straight to Gunthorpe rather than doing the Derby meet's route (sounds like they want to have some fun!) and get there at a relaxed rate.

Chris, what time will we get to Gunthorpe do you think?

CharlieWhiskey

No worries if you lot don't wanna join us

There are two short routes you can do out & back from Gunthorpe anyway

We should get to Gunthorpe about 12:15 See you all there no doubt

chrisp

Robman I reckon about an hour tops from McD's so about 12-30pm if we leave at 11-30

Rach

We will hopefully be joining you for the drive there. We will be at McD's at about 11:15.we are in a 2000MY DBM
