Hartside Café 2013!
​

Hey Guys and Gals!

Can i just say Happy New Year to all of you that are not on our Facebook group! (Why aren't you ? https://www.facebook.com/groups/ClioNorthEast/)

Anyways, ill crack on.

New Year. New Meet.

For the first one of 2013 im proposing we all have a nice run up to Hartside Café.

What is Hartside ? http://www.visitcumbria.com/pen/hartside-pass.htm

In my opinion... The drive to Hartside Café is nothing short of brilliant. Twisty roads with long straights at times. Stunning photo opportunities. Brilliant views.		7962936496_42d0d74754_m.jpg

Also, have a read of Piers. on his recent run up Hartside. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?676083 <-- Good Read!

So, brilliant day. I want to have a better one with all of you!

So, Sunday the 3rd of February is what im proposing.

We have always met at Durham Services so i think ill stick with this location again. http://www.motorwayservices.info/durham_services_a1_m

Address for anyone to lazy to look at the link:
A1(M) - J61
Durham
DH6 5NP​


The time to be at Durham Services will be 10.30 AM! Please try and get there on time, the earlier the better! We will be leaving the services cirsa 11 AM.

If anyone has a preferred route ill listen to your opinions and confirm it the week before the meet. I know the likes of BlackGold and Piers. have drove up there more recently than me so might be able to give us some tips.

If you have never done a driving meet before please get yourself along to this as its probably the best one you could come to. It doesn't matter if have a 1.2 8V. We don't raceas some might think. We have a good drive and a good chat and that is what makes these days so fun.


As always, you can meet in small groups then drive to Durham Services. Talk amongst yourselves.

I think thats it. I hope to see all your names on the list and that you actually turn up!

Ill leave with you with this courtesy or Piers.

My fiesta as I can't see the clio or 106 been done :,( the clio only needs a coilpack and leads to run so might just take it out multi coloured.

Make sure after you stop at hartside and have had your scran to follow past and down towards penrith for about 10 miles instead of turning round at the cafe. That part of the road is made specifically for clio's iirc (piers)

might pop up with piers and co

Mate, it doesnt matter if you have a reliant robin. We are all mates and none of us bite. Just come along for the banter if anything!

I know ya's don't bite haha, just... First impressions count, need her looking her best! :D looking forward to this like. Depending on how far I go past the cafe depends on funds towards end of the month, just split up with the gf so had all the final bills to pay off... Quickest 1k ive ever spent lmao...

Il most likely pop up to meet you all at Hartside :) But as Jamie says, it's a must to go past Hartside Cafe and head to Penrith for about 10miles, then turn round & come back. That part is the best bit - I promise.

Il try n bring the local Clio gang along too, as I'm sure they will be more than game ;)

Cheers.

Maybe you could lead us from the cafe mate?

I've only been over that side once I think and that's when I had my 1.4.
