Hiya chaps, I know this ain't my manor ( ) but.............

Here's my plan

I want to try summat different with this whole meet thing.

It goes like this:

Meet Up at point A
Drive to point B
Stop and have a social in a suitable place (15 mins)
Drive to point C
Stop and have a social in a suitable place (15 mins)
Drive to point D
Stop and have a social in a suitable place (15 mins)
ETC

I reckon that a good few hours "Decent" driving can be had

Lets face it, we go to a meet, we drive to a venue and because that is the "Climax" of the meet, we stay there
We have ALL been there Kicking the floor, smoking more **** than we should, talking about the same old bollox when deep down all we want to do is DRIVE )

Hows about we make a DAY/ WEEKEND OF IT!!! ?

Imagine, pulling into a carpark with a few scoobs in it .............It fills up over a course of an hour...........You get given a route to end all routes that covers maybe 150-200 miles (in 20-30 mile chunks)...........You set off when you want, as quick as you want, knowing that at the next meeting place, there will be some scoobs either with you or just leaving on the next leg

Basically a ROLLING meet

It would cover a big distance but you get to take in :

Twisty Stuff
Windy Stuff (Wind-ey not windy as in windmill )
Roundabouts
Dual Carriageways
Motorways
Towns
Villages
Roads that we really should not be on
Roads with cattle grids on them!
Pretty much the whole nine yards.
Places that you never knew existed

You would only require the following:

A Passion for Scoobs
(Ideally) A co driver
Enough schekles to fuel ya beast
Enough Schekles to feed yaself and co-driver
A Tolerence for getting lost
A Spare day
Patience!

Obviously I couldn't dream of managing ALL of this myself so i would need help but I know a few folk (If you know what i mean )

Like the "BIG ONE" it isn't going to happen overnight so I will put the Idea out to tender and gauge response.

I truly believe that we could roam England for a day/weekend in a mini gumball rally stylee (Without the "I'm too rich to worry about speeding tickets" attitude) all you need is to commit yourself to the event

So:

One day or Weekend?

Can you make yourself availiable as a co-organiser during the organising phase or not? (Not a pre-requisite )

Up for a SERIOUS SCOOB Session

Consider the impact on family life! If ya kids don't travel or you can't get a dog sitter etc!

Can you commit to a time frame? None of this "I should be or maybe or i think so Hows about you put your £15k + investment first, just for ONE meet

Accept that the need of the many WILL outweigh the needs of the one (None of that...."I Know you are meeting on the 20th, but i've got a origami class then, can we make it the 21st" Bollox)

Who's in?

PHM

Ps10/10 for the Big One

 

Sounds like a cool idea

Paul

 

Surely has to be a weekend m8 unless you're planning to drive dawn to dusk.

People could commit to the whole route or drop in/out as time, location and wallets permit.

 

Ace idea!!
This is one event that HAS to happen.

Ade

 

I spend have my week working in York so can start and fiish anywhere, got a co-driver lined up. name the weekend and we will be there. Also happy to help with some of the route/stopover planning... drop me a mail if you need some help.

 

Have you got a route in mind Mikey ?
If so count me in
I really like the idea of a meet that last for 48 hours or so!

 

Then come on a camping trip
