A few of us are meeting up at the Mcdonalds at the end of the M67 for a quick run over the woodhead on the way to the Big One.
Anyone who fancies tagging along is more than welcome
Time to be confirmed

I am based down south but am in Preston watching (wait for it) my beloved Coventry City play Preston on the 6th. Will be around on the 7th and may therefore tag along on the way down to the Big One if I may?
I don't know the area, is the M67 McDonalds near Preston?
Cheers,
Jon (DBM MY99)

JonM, if ya want to meet up with us lot at maccies in haslingden.
It's just off the M65 which you can easily access from preston, and then we'll be off to birch and probably do snake pass which is a top road. I'll mail you 2 lots of directions to both our meet up points and you can decide which one is best for you

Dudes is this on our route?.....
Hiya Dudes, Just had a call from the Inspector Copper guy, thankfully he is "one of the old school" He has "let it slip" that due to committee and local resident spokesperson pressure and the need to be "seen" to be in control, he has aggreed to post two temporary speed traps along our in route Thing is, he has accidentally suggested where they may be Basically there will be one set up at each end of the A6097. This road is a long wide quick road with fast roundabouts at each end. In a scoob and an evo (as we all know) you will be easily able to exit the roundabouts onto the A6097 already doing 60mph. TAKE CARE. Coming from the A46 end onto the A6097, there is a huge layby 2-300 meters up the incline on your right. By the time you see it and if you have kept your foot planted, you WILL be exceeding 100mph as you come into camera sight Please take it steady. At this point you will be 2 minutes from the final RV don't ruin ya day. Coming from the A612 end onto the A6097, there is a wicked little roundabout with a camber and surface change at the exit all good fun in the wet when no one else is around. This turns into a small dual carriage way, leading over a bridge. Once over the bridge, the road rapidly becomes single carriageway again. The temptation is to boot it along the Dual carriageway up the hill, which is fine except as you come over the brow of the bridge, you will see a long, wide straight A6097 which seduces you to keep it planted. Again, you WILL be doing in excess of 100mph at this point if you are not careful The camera will be on the right hand side of the road up a driveway which is shielded from view TAKE CARE On a plus note, the inspector did say he would try and get one of the police scoobs down, however he was not on duty that day so couldn't be certain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional warning - there is a stretch of the A6097 that has a 50 mph limit. From the A612 end, I think it starts just after the short dual carriageway bit (which goes over a bridge), and from the A46 side, (if memory serves me right)it starts as you begin the downhill slope towards Gunthorpe Bridge just past the traffic lights.
Ain't local knowledge a wonderful thing!
