supertouring

I thought we would start the year off as we mean to go on with a run out.

Place : H&H as usual
Date : Jan 2nd (Bank Hols)
Time : 10am (not in the dark!)

It will be a spirited drive with a few coke stops (assuming the pubs are open) along the way. Should be back by lunchtime.

Newbies welcome as always.

(I am also planning a reccie for the annual SMACS to Wales trip, so let me you know you are interested. It will be a FULL day around North/Mid Wales - ideal for when the inlaws are around No date decided yet)

Hi Dai, I think its the 2nd of Jan not the 6th

I will come if I am not working, think I may have to work until 11 or 12 but should know for sure soon.
Definately fancy the Wales trip though

The Chief

Count me in.

Went for a quick blast over Monks rd to Glossop the other night, have to say my brakes seemed a lot better when they warmed up

Got my airbox sorted today from grade A in Hayfield - so another excuse for a blast over there in my lunch.

seeya soon chaps

Im interested weather depending, not much point in me trying to keep up in the CTR if the roads are wet/icy. Would simply be a new years resolution broken (along with the car!).

Sounds like a good excuse to get out. Have to watch myself on these "spirited" drives though since my last encounter with a camera van.

Can someone who knows please post a map link? Thanks

supertouring

Be my guest, any pro-active organising of runs out is very welcome.

The Chief

Hare & Hounds, Marple SJ936891 Map Link The pub is on A627 Dooley Lane/Otterspool Road which runs between Marple/Offerton and Bredbury/Romiley. It's opposite the Wyevale Garden Centre and near the River Goyt. From M60, leave at Junction 27 east of Stockport town centre, i.e. if travelling eastbound, the junction immediately after passing under the railway viaduct. At J27 roundabout, follow signs for A626 Marple, leaving via the 4th exit. At signalised junction continue straight and up the hill. At next signals at the top of the hill by a BMW garage, turn left and continue to follow signs for A626 and Marple. Follow A626 towards Marple for around 3 miles. Continue straight down bendy hill at signals (with A627 to Hazel Grove) still following signs for Marple. At next signals, only 300 metres down hill with trees on both sides, turn left to A627 to Bredbury/Romiley. The pub is at the bottom of the hill on the left. From Wilmslow/Bramhall/Poynton direction, take A523 north towards Hazel Grove. At junction with A6 Buxton Road, turn left onto A6 towards Stockport, then next right onto A627 towards Marple. At next signals turn right towards Marple, then at next signals, only 300 metres down hill with trees on both sides, turn left to A627 to Bredbury/Romiley. The pub is at the bottom of the hill on the left.

Where are we planning to go (broadly speaking)?

jtb106

Hi everyone...I live in Cheadle Hulme so am well close enough to meet up with you, obviously i don't know any of you, but hope newbies are welcome?

In terms of 'keeping up' i have a 52 Plate WRX STi Prodrive, i've only had it a month and would welcome any tips on the day regarding how to get the most out of it. My initial thoughts are god these things grip (my last car was a Westfield Megablade...)

Anyway I look forward to meeting some of you...anyone going from near Cheadle Hulme (Governors pub?) that I could follow to Marple?

cheers all

Jay

wah

I will have to check my rota for work but got this funny feeling I'm working if not jtb106 you can meet me I only live down the road near Morrisons, I go through or into Cheadle Hulme most days as the wife has Horses stabled there


Si

jtb106

Si,

Nice one mate, obviously I can find my own way to Marple if need be, but's always more fun to go in convoy right?

J

wah

Lol yeah I guess so once you know where it is it's easy, I'm surprised I haven't seen you kicking about it it maybe I have and I have flashed and waved !!!!, I own a MY93 WRX in red

SteelX

Wales? Cool!

Have to see about the 2nd closer to the time.

@Jtd106: The best way to find out what these things can do is to follow a few

Steel

supertouring

The route will head over towards Sheffield and back around to Glossop. A few pub stops on the way depending upon time. Going to try some new roads for a change.

Jtd106, get on the track - a much safer environment to get a feel for the car, you will not be dissappointed. Oh, and under no circumstances should you attempt to follow SteelX anywhere - he usually gets lost!

Wales is now looking unlikely due to my recent operation. Spending all day driving will not help it to heal quickly so may have to wait till early next year. I think a day out in Wales is on the cards anyway so watch this space.

Beefy

I thought it was the people trying to follow steel that usually got lost because they couldnt keep up?

SteelX

lol

[radio static]

So its a straight road with no turnings Super?

[squawk]

Thats right Steel. Straight road.

10 miles, 6 mins later...

[Faint radio voice of Super...]

Wheres Steel? Did he turn right at the pub?

The defence rests. []

SteelX

Sheep, sheep, sheep, rock, sheep, sheep, crazy farmer, sheep, sheep....etc

Hi guys, I had booked the day off but unfortunately my boss is still pretty ill after suffering some sort of heart attack over xmas, so I will have to work in the morning. However I may still finish early enough to join you so if I can make it I will be there, but don't hang around waiting for me.
If it looks like I may only be a few minutes late I will ring CW42
