From Jct 27 on the M6, head West towards Parbold and Ormskirk along the A5209 for about 3 miles. The Wiggin Tree is at the top of the hill on the right hand side.

Any probs, let me know

I'll be there.

I hadn't paid much attention as I thought it was miles away but Autoroute says 53.8 miles.

Might come along then if there is a party to gate crash - anything planned Michelle?

Thanks for the support people.

The reason I don't do these meets on a Friday, is that everyone goes out with their mates and gets bladdered/curried/kebabed (ie. no driving involved) on Fridays, so attendance wouldn't be up to much.

As for regularity, I'd like to do them once a month, I aim to do them once every two months, I actually do them once every four months ! Just busy with the usual excuses: family, work, knackered etc.

See you all tonight !!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance of some last minute directions?

I would e-mail Tony (as per his message) but his e-mail is hidden!

Head west from Jct 27 and you will get to the pub on the right hand side after 5 minutes or so. Dead easy, right on top of the Hill.

Many thanks to everyone for turning up last night, we had more than a dozen people. Nice to see the 'usual suspects' and a few new faces as well. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

I'll try to make them a bit more regular in future !

Cheers,

T

A good night.

Thanks for putting up with a couple of 'Southerners' for a few hours Got home about 1.30am after taking the scenic route home via our local 24 hour Tescos.

Q. Is the speed camera at the bottom of the hill going into Parbold a radar based Gatso? Banshi said he got flashed by it but Slider didn't get anything on his radar dectector.

Thanks Tony for last night again and good to meet the Shandy supping southerners, as for the speed camera if you turn left out of the pub towards the M6 the answer is no to speed camera there is not one there, if you turned right then I think there is a camera.

Darren.
