have been to the Wiggin Tree a few times, but they are off to Southport this Wednesday Bowling, so it could be a late one.
Yep ,my pumpkin has a few bells and whistles, but not after 10.30pm

Cool

Having just bought my new scooby, I am going to be out again tonight having a play. I met a nice Legacy last night, and had a little play, but was on my own for the most part. I am after going over the hills around Buxton and surrounding area, maybe over to Macc too. If you want to come along, meet me at the Hare & Hounds in otterspool, multimap link: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=395000&Y=390000&width=500&height=300& client=public&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&add r1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&scale=50000&advanced=&multim ap.x=154&multimap.y=215
It is the public house just to the right of the river, south of the s bend. Say around 21:30 ish.
Please, this is not a cruise, or a boy racer night out, I am a boring 35 year old with 2 kids and a missus, I'm not interested in burning anyone off at the lights!
Hope to see you there, mail me today, and we can sort something out.
chris.

Hi nige, you missed a nice run, only out for 1 hour 40 mins, but made it up woodhead from glossop, then up holmemoss, holmfirth, holmmill, then back along woodhead, and turned off down the glossop road round devils elbow (do you know that one?) into glossop, thru to hayfield, newmills, strines, marple and home. Lovely night, light traffic, great roads, only saw one other scooby, but didn't get chance to let on.
will be out again tomorrow night around 9 ish, let me know if you fancy it,
chris.

Sounds like its going to be a geriatric run, I am 37 (hardly a "lad") with what now appears to be standard baggage for a person my age (i.e. wife and 2 kids).

Will not be available till until next week, but still keen to have a good run.

no, that wasn't me, I'm in a silver MY99 with a rather obvious rear wing, you can't miss me.
Only just got the car, so you may not have seen me yet, but I'm not far from Marple (not telling you exactly where for obvious reasons!)
You up for a drive tonight?
I will be going out around 9 ish, when the wife gets back from work.

If you like, I could organise a proper meet, and then a run after, say this Sunday? Who would come if that was the case?
Let me know,
chris.

just had a word with the wife, unfortunatly she is working on sunday, but I'm not! So count me in, but I will have my 2 kids with me, Paige @ 8 and Isaac @ 6, do you think it will be kid friendly? If so, I'm up for it.
I can't tell off the thread, but what is the festival everyone is going on about? is it a pub, or a ......festival of some kind?
I will post on that thread that I will be coming along, and get some more details off there, thanks for the invite.
Does anyone else off this thread fancy it? It could turn into a dry run for the NBO at this rate, hehe.

hey super, welcome back.
Unfortunatly I am away on wednesday for a few days, so won't be able to come out to play this week.
I'm going down to ipswich, so I think that will be enough miles for one week!
I will post on here when I get back, and sort something out for a meet next week. Pity you didn't come over to this meet on sunday, very good turnout from the derby/midlands crew.

see you soon,

Got back from working away on Friday lunchtime and immediately shot off to Scotland for the weekend with wife and kids, so could not make it otherwise would have considered it.

I'll keep an eye out for updates to this thread.

Hey guys, count me in for a meet up sometime soon (only just come across this thread)

Need a bit of notice as I'm now currently in Liverpool, but the car lives in the general Macclesfield area (how I miss those Derbyshire/Cheshire country roads)...

If anything actually gets organised I'm 99% sure I'll turn up.

Ok, I don't mind arranging a meet in the near future. I'm off to ipswich for a few days, but will be back for the weekend. How about Sunday night? Meet where I said originally, down in Otterspool near Marple?
Say around 8pm?
We can have a drink, then go for a little drive out somewhere, what do you think?

ok, here is the meeting place, if you zoom out from the map, you can see a pub just before the road goes over the river in an s bend. that is called the "hare and hounds". it has a sizable car park, and is quite nice inside. The most important bit though is the proximity to some of the nicest roads in the peak district, and some local roads too.
how about next wednesday evening then, say 8pm?
reply if your going to turn up, and we can sort the numbers out.
I'll be number 1, do I have any offers for number 2?
see you wednesday the 7th may at the hare and hounds, otterspool, marple, stockport at 8pm.
otterspool
the pub is in between where it says "dooley and lane".
Sale is only down the motorway, take the stockport east turn off to bredbury, and follow the signs for marple, you will come down to otterspool from the top of the map. good luck!


chris.

no problem rasher, your number 2. I have posted this message on the SIDC forum, so we may get some from there too, although if you read that forum, I'm sure you read this one as well.
