TT-DEK Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 No idea as yet?. Getting out of B/Pool, shouldn,t be that bad. Only 5 thousand motors to worry about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 In terms of restaurants im not sure yet, im sure i can persuade Kate to come along if there are going to be other other halves there, just dont think she likes the idea of spending the whole night with us just talking about Supra's thats all. Shes not as into cars as i am and would only really be coming for the illuminations (which she has never seen despite being from the North West and being 24!!) and a meal.

garetheves Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Just been talking to a work collegue of mine who went to the illuminations last night and they said that by the time they were leaving at 7pm the queue to get into the illuminations was massive. So i propose we do the following: Meet around 7pm (by then clocks will have gone back so more people should have gone through earlier with kids and that), grab something to eat and aim to head out to the lights about 8:30ish -9. Any earlier than that and im thinking we are going to be queueing for ages, plus the less number of people around the more chance we have of going through in convoy and not getting split up. If this is ok with everyone then we can start looking for restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 sounds like a plan there's the Outside Inn next to the B&Q Superstore, just at the penultimate junction at the end of the M55 (Gaz, you know the one where i met you & Cav that time) plenty of parking & an interesting layout inside (medievil or something) You'll have to ignore the website http://www.outsideinnblackpool.co.uk/ though as it sucks otherwise, the Shovels pub isn't too bad or there's the 'Air Balloon' which are both close to the entrance of the illuminations, however i think the Air Balloon is where MG Rover & CruiseBlackpool are meeting up or there is Pizza Hut which is just near the end of the M55 and then 5 mins from the illuminations the best place to eat is in town, http://www.westcoastrock.co.uk/westframe.asp but unfortunately there is zero parking nearby that i would consider 'safe'!
