Cool

Ok I need to know how many people want to :
A) Hit the pubs and then go to a nice Balti house.
or
B) Hit the pubs and then grab a bag of chips on the way to a nightclub.
I'm feeling kind of like an old fart, so it's an 'A' vote from me. Else I fear I'll not make it to AT on Sunday LOL
Chuck
PS Do we just do a random drive through the peak district Saturday, or get ChrisB and Michelle to line up a route?

PS: Re the route, it would be nice to have an idea where we go, thru Matlock Bath and the gorges would be good.

I'll get on the case with a route for you then. Where are most of you coming from?

It's a week or so yet, hopefully a few days notice will be enough for Shaffers (assuming it's not a party of 50!). In fact, I'll try to give them a call tomorrow or over the weekend to find out how much notice they would like and post back a deadline.

Iain,

Meeting up sounds cool to me , but on my way up the M1 I have to meet up with Salsa King to get his Magnex Centre Section off him - hopefully be able to meet up with him on one of the motorway service areas
If you guys don't mind a break half way there then cool

Cheers
Neil.

Yup another Essex boy here, will probably group us up at the services next to Lakeside, or at South Mimms for the convoy.

I'll have a number 17 and a number 43 please
I thought that was how you ordered Chinese, not Indian though?
To be honest hope we can have pretty firm numbers early this week, only 2 weeks to go! WOhoo!

Michelle, are you taking us through Matlock Bath? Brmmm brmmmm!
I'll e-mail you the Hotel details as it's super top-secret information, for the sake of the paranoid (maybe not unjustly so) few that wouldn't want the whereabouts of their car on Saturday night posting

South Mimms or Lakeside services are fine by me, are we going A1 or M1???

BTW, Are you sure we can trust 'Chelle to plan the route???
We'll probably end up at Legoland!!!!

South Mimms services at 10.30am Saturday the 11th for the journey up folks! Will get my mobile on here as soon as I can figure out what my number is
Going to roll up the M1 as then we can get the boring motorway bit outta the way quickly. Haven't seen Michelles route, but J26 M1 to Matlock Bath is dead easy. After that it gets more fun
Cheers
