[Geddes]

id be there but i dont think the 1.2 will keep up, shame, have fun

ha way, get yourself allong dosnt matter if you got a 1.2 or diesel

been amny times they've been non sports to meets it does not matter

 

[DazJ]

will see how things go, just i'm stopping at a B&B at the moment, going to have a look at a couple of flats this week & next. Will see how much money I've got for diesel as well just it's 100mile drive up to Scotch Corner

 

[Geddes]

Just rang Tan Hill, the snow is still pretty bad up there. the guy said there bringing in a plough for the roads there. might have to re arrange but we'll see in the next week or so

 

[David Ramsey]

It'll be fine. Stop being soft Geddes

 

[Geddes]

aye i'm sure it will be

 

[T.Trophy]

Bad news chaps, my "overnight parts " from america arn't going to be here till feb and as I'm half way through stripping the turbo kit off the car at the moment theres no way it'll be driveable for the end of the month.

Sorry.

 

[Hutchie]

aye i'm sure it will be

if its not fine maybe we can go to the A19's OK Diner as an alternative

 

[DazJ]

There's a few nice places down here, loads of good driving roads as well.

 

[SCOTT_182CUP]

wont be at this one as the wife has just booked up centre pacrs so now dont need to wash the car for the meet.

 

[kev182cup]

should we have a vote for a emergency place? incase its still bad.

 

[Hutchie]

should we have a vote for a emergency place? incase its still bad.

i think we need to kev where would you like to go?

i mean if its still icy/snowy i would rather not go for a drive at all tbh.

cosy pub dinner to start the year would be ok though

 

[DazJ]

I still stay somewhere near here, loads of good driving roads, a variety on pub/restaurants which most sell nice food and warm atmosphere, no snow on the roads just on paths and sidestreets

[kev182cup]

how about this place it's called Royal Derwent Hotel at Allensford really nice food and it's got a pool table. got some good roads round there and it's near Derwent resevoir and there a fort i'm sure down the road in the dip

 

[Savi]

Sounds promising

 

[Hutchie]

well done geddes

 

[JackoR26]

That sounds a bit more like it

 

[kev182cup]

im up for that.

 

[Geddes]

i've been there before, it's east to get too, you cant miss the place.

i'll give them a ring to make sure it's all right to pop allong. if we do this

 

[DazJ]

it is a nice drive around the derwentside moors but i don't think i'll be able to afford to drive up for this meet

 

[kev182cup]

wouldnt it cost you like a fiver. lol ^^

 

[DazJ]

my house is over 10miles away from consett & I'm currently living in mansfield which is roughly 130miles away, so thats 140miles without the miles on the meet itself

 

[kev182cup]

so say a tenner then, it would surely be worth that.

 

[DazJ]

yeah it would be worth the money but its money that i havn't really got

 

[Geddes]

so what's peoples ideas then, do you want to go to this Derwent Hotel or do you want to go to the Tan Hill Inn?

 

[Hutchie]

if the cold stays away we should be able to get to tan hill.
