MATLOCK MEET - 20th December

I've no idea which way I'm going or when I'm setting off...or even if I'm driving lol. I do however know that I will NEVER again drive to Scotland. It's w**k.

Over 8 and a half f**king hours of boring A1 to get up there and then this is the view.

The 4 and a half hours to get back was just as boring, but I was heading back to civilisation so it was alllll good. I know of a good indoor and outdoor karting place up there though.

Seeing as I'm flying up there for work at the end of January I'll meet you lot up there then. ;)
 
What time is everyone meeting?
I'll be rolling to meet tom and a few others first if any one wants to join me from the Vegas area

Nice one dude. We will meet u and adz (others welcome) at mcarther glen as before about 11.45 ish and convoy down to gray then off to the meet

that sound alright x
 
I've never been to Matlock before in my life, i don't even know how to get there apart from its south a bit. :D

I did that run up to newcastle earlier this month. Never have I been so bored on a car journey. The highlight was a ferrari infront of me, with it's left indicator on for 10 miles.

You're missing out, we're going to have chips, and pubs and everything!

You think it's bad to Newcastle mate it gets worse just as you go past the toon. Speed cameras and single lane. :dapprove: To top it off I was in a diesel Golf...with a low oil warning light and later a low oil pressure warning light and f**king annoying buzzer. Oh and no Kieran :o.
 
Definitely.
Do we have a plan of attack? What we doing? Stand around for a bit --> Pub --> Food & Drink --> stand around for a bit more --> home ?
 
I dunno... I think the only reason people stand around is because;
a) not every one knows each other so feels uneasy suggesting things
b) I as a rep, know f**k all about matlock roads wise so can't really organise a blast.

Pub does sound a good call though- Deffo? Unless anyone else cares to suggest something?

Wouldn't mind a look at the turbo either Darren :cool:
 
I know the roads round there pretty well, as I'm sure some of the others do (Dave should for a start since he lives round there).

My bonnet will no doubt be open at some point during the day :)
 
I will come, but I am not getting out of my car nor opening the windows... and will sit there all day with my heaters on ;)
 
Think the general idea is to wrap up warm.

We'll find a pub as well, I'm not sitting out in the cold and dark.

up cromford hill, across to midlleton, to ashbourne via carsington, then on the a515, peal off on the B5056 through longcliffe, down to the A5012 and back down to cromford. well i'll be going for a hoon that way so if anyone else want too, been a local lad + all ;)

its an epic little drive, made even better by ice/snow and 185/55 comedy tires :D
 
Is the first post still upto date with the right info? I'll be seeing what time I wake up and what the weather's like, but might have a venture over.

Luke, do you want me to bring these wheels with if I do come?
 
It's a blizzard here atm, if it's like this tomorrow then there is no f**king chance in hell I'll be there or driving anywhere.
 
this could be fun tomorrow. i bring the sledge if some can bring some rope so i can be tied onto someones car
 
Going to have to bail and stick with the West Midlands meet on this one. Roads up to Matlock will be worse than murder with no traction control if the weather forecast holds the way it is - sorry guys. Just no sense in driving 2-3 hours up there to have an accident in the snow!
