Stevo Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Ok - this is going to be a class drive (just pray we don't get snow ) The route will be as follows: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Tyne+Green+Rd&daddr=A6079%2FRotary+Way+to:A686+to:B6277+to:B6282+to:54.969337,-1.963806&geocode=FczkRgMdsebf_w%3BFWbrRgMd7g7g_w%3BFYyaRAMdZrra_w%3BFbr2QQMdiqbe_w%3BFWw7QQMdvnnh_w%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=1&mrsp=5&sz=11&via=1,2,4&sll=54.916487,-1.95076&sspn=0.184307,0.439453&ie=UTF8&z=11 There will be 2 main meeting points along the way: North - Tyne Green Country Park, Hexham: 11 to 11.30am South - High Force Hotel, Forest-In-Teesdale: 12.45 - 2pm (for lunch) http://www.highforcehotel.com/index.html The plan is to stop for a pub lunch at the High Force Hotel, so make sure you get your name on the list below and whether you'll have a passenger or not so that I can book some tables in advance for us. We'll try and get some short stops along the way too for some photos. As it stands, the loop isn't closed up as I'm assuming once we reach the A69 again some people may just head home. However, if there is enough interest, I would suggest we all round things off saying our 'byes' with some refreshments at the Keelman Pub: http://www.petersen-stainless.co.uk/blb/thepub.html 1.

jevansio Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Steve I wouldn't get too hung up on the numbers, 11 is a lot of cars to keep together on a run out, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yeah I know mate, but that's assuming 11 turn up though. You still bringing the MR2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwarrior Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'll be there guys, probably plus 1. Was at High force last week with the inlaws when the weather was mint. Slightly different route but mostly the same roads. It was during the week and it's the best run out i've had all year. Class roads, especially down Hartford. If it's sunny 11 sup's will be a great day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am almost positive I'll be there. The only reason I won't is if my manifold & turbo turns up & I have lots of work to do & the weather is OK. Saying that even if I have stuff to do I'll still prolly come, the car can wait one weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ok, so confirmation had now that this is the same day as the Jap North East. Given the times, anyone interested in going, could still be over at the SOL for 3ish I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'd still be interested in going if the numbers are still up. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'd still be interested in going if the numbers are still up. Anyone else? Same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Just to clarify, I'd assumed the numbers are the same for this drive. I was referring to if anyone wanted to go to JNE after the drive, the timing should work out ok for them to be able to do both still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
