Drive to hartside? 30th October

[Chris205]

Anybody want to have a drive up to hartside? It will be good to have a blast up there before the bad weather really sets in

Let me know if you're interested and we will arrange a meeting point etc

For those that don't know about Hartside, it's a fun drive up some awesome challenging b roads, from Durham it takes around 45 minutes to get there.

It's not going to be a race just a nice drive out and a good excuse to have a meet. The last hartside trip I memory of will had a great turnout and I'd love to do it again before the bad weather starts

All you need is just over half a tank of fuel and it's around 100 miles round trip


Get your names down I guarantee you will fall in love with the roads

[Adz172]

Anyone still up for this? was up there today, what a road!

 

[nicholls172]

Im still up for this. I'm away all this week and get back on Saturday. This weekend is pretty much the last time youll get a good driving session in before winter settles gets underway.

 

[jonw279]

i wouldnt mind joining you the clio could do with a decent run out

 

[lindleyp]

google map me the link please, ha

 

[Chris205]

I'm going up this evening at 7.30ish, it's quite fun in the dark so if you want to have a ride up with me I will be taking it steady

Pm me for my mob number and I can meet you somewhere

 

[Adz172]

This still going ahead?

 

[nicholls172]

Think so, a good few of us involved anyways! Lol

 

[Adz172]

sure is lol. Time and place where everyone is meeting would be helpful lol.

 

[Chris205]

I cnt make next weekend, my bad. Insurance is up on the trophy and wont be renewing for a few weeks

 

[Finny]

im defo up or this i cant wait after todays antics...whos defo going then?

 

[Finny]

oh and where exactly is everyone going to meet?

 

[nicholls172]

Still up for this but have no idea where it is. Anyone else want take over organising this?

 

[Adz172]

good point! Where abouts is everyone coming from?

 

[Finny]

il organise it if nobody wants to....what about if everyone arranges to meet in hexham at the wentworth car park just off the a69? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place...tworth+leisure+centre&cid=1480669973102065153

all lads coming from durham etc just up the a68 then a69 to hexham...
sunderland and newcastle area a1 then a69 turn off all the way to hexham....

once at hexham il lead the way if needed to hartside this would be an easy way for everbody as its close to everyhwere and wont put anyone out of their way as its on the way there anyways????

just need to work out if everyone is defo up for it and what time to meet in the morning?

a list would be good and to stick to it...
