Since everyone and his mother are sorting out convoys over to the NBO, thought it was time to sort out our little jaunt. So, for all interested parties, would you like a scenic run or a straight run over to the NBO, post your interest and ideas below, I'll do a route/directions so everyone will know where we'll be going which will be given out on the day. Start point will be the A56 in Haslingden with various pick up points en-route.

Cheers..

count me in as long as i dont have to lead.....

 

any plans to pass thru m62? if so, i would love to join in

 

Count me in aswell Craft, just hope to get my car back on the road in time!

 

BK, we'll be going the other way m8, why not come down the m62/m66 and join us, as we'll be taking a more scenic run over.

AJ, whats up with yer car m8, not still trying to get more power, as if it needs it Did you get your tyres sorted?

CRAFT

 

Not more power it just died a death@155mph (as "Neil" would say, "BOOMSHANKA"
Got SO3's not had much time with them to be honest but they instantly feel superior to the Nero's.
Thanks for supporting Northern Run 1
Hopefully see you in a few weeks.

 

craft,

BK, basically, go west on the m62, get off at the bury/burnley/m66 junction (18 I think) follow signs for burnley/m65, then you'll come to a large roundabout and infront of you is little chef/Mcd's, we'll be on the little chef car park. Unsure of time as I haven't done the run yet, but will post nearer the time.

Steve

 

Just like to thank you all for your support in making the NBO

the largest gathering of scoobs 399 registered

see you all in 15 days time

John

 

Right folks, did a recce at w/e and it took me 90 mins to get to Ripon, and we all know how slow I drive, so it should give us plenty of time. Was thinking we make a move around 10am from Little Chef if thats ok with you lot?

We'll be at Little Chef around 0930(as long as MDM is ready) and we'll set off at 10am.

See ya all soon......

CRAFT

 

Ok with me mate!

Steve.

 

 

ill be ready i can set my alarm at the time you go to work, home ,shopping, pictures and so on.ive invited a cossie to act as cannon fodder but me think he be like most m3 drivers and duck at the 1st sign of a fast scoob.
me think leave the burger van man at 9.30 so we can stop for a cuppa on the way over to let the brakes cool.

 

I know a great place to stop so your "Brembos" can cool off, would be a good time to have a kodak moment also If all turn up before 10am then we'll make tracks.

CRAFT

 

Craft,

will have to miss convoy to NBO & see you all up there instead.

Work obligation means I will be travelling from different direction.

Keep an eye out for us mate! There's gonna be a lot o' Blue Scoob's out there!!!

Have a good one,

Steve.

 

Craft
If we are starting off at 10am and we are looking at a 90 min drive plus a stop off, What are the chances of getting there for the start at 11am.?
Or have i read it all wrong.
