Racing Blue meet - 28/02/2010 - Ladybower - All Welcome

[boomerbang2006]

As long as all the cars get there then the "blast" can be arranged in situe (as it where).

 

[The Boosh!]

Don't worry I am still going to go and look at routes and stuff. Im a little worried that the convoy will be huge though!

Just don't want to disappoint anyone is all.

Melissa, Claire - Obvious misunderstanding through the lack of context on a forum, no biggy

 

[Dave..]

I won't be able to come on the drive with everyone, but I can do you a route Luke? Similar to the one we did at that peak district run, maybe with the cat & fiddle thrown in.

Depends whether people are after a half tank, or full tank trip

 

[The Boosh!]

Yeh Dave, if you wouldn't mind meeting up with me when your next in Sheffield we can go and scout it out prior?

Because Saxo's are for young chavs who like snoogling 15 year old car sluts in McDonalds car parks and racing their friends round their local town centre.

Oh maybe that's the minority of CS?

You obviously saw the light.

 

[Christopher]

Looking forward to this.

Rolling with 8000k xenons now. You'll see me from Cheshire.

 

[Curley]

We doing cat and fiddle?

 

[Feirny]

I was being polite for once can you get to mine Sunday?

Feirny i'm going to say it seriously on this note. Sort your life out after that comment!

LOL, not because of the footie, because my car is still not fixed and I'm unsure as to whether I've got dibs on shotgun with someone.

 

[Dave..]

We doing cat and fiddle?

I'm trying to come up with a route, similar to an epic one we did last year. Cat & Fiddle is a bit far out for those who are coming from way away, but if those coming from far away want to experience the cat & fiddle, I could work it in?


Edit: Infact f**k it, it's not that far. You're all doing the Cat & Fiddle.

 

[leeds_182]

Is this meeting place going to be big enough!?

 

[not normal dan]

You obviously saw the light.

clearly, more power an great handling to start with

 

[Christopher]

Cat & Fiddle would be ace. Closer to me, too.

Win.

 

[ipodsandguns]

Time to start a fresh list? ready for 50% to drop out.

are you dropping out then? :rasp:

 

[Dave..]

Right, I've got you all a route sorted. Sadly I can't join you all, I'll just be there for the pub, but hopefully no one will get lost :rasp:

I've kept A roads to a minimum, mainly cus they're crawling with speed camera vans on a Sunday, and B roads are more fun. Part 1 takes you past Chatsworth house, and some awsome little back roads. The end of Part 1 has an epic view as you drop down some tight hairpins down the side of a valley.

Part 2 will see you round Buxton, avoiding the busy bits, down the A54, and back up to Macclesfield. From Macclesfield you'll then be going over the Cat & Fiddle, back towards Buxton. Then it's back up along some B roads to Ladybower.

The route covers about 140 miles, and should take 2 to 2 and a half hours. It can be cut shorter by skipping out the Cat & Fiddle though.

I've tried to include the best bits of the peak district in there, so I don't know if you want to print off a map or whatever, but some one at the front will need to know the way really.


One last thing to remember, two of the roads in this route are in the top 10 most dangerous roads in Britain, the A54 and the cat and fiddle itself, just bare it in mind and keep stupid driving to a minimum. No accidents please.

[Melissa]

Jeez, won't be able to afford 2 tanks i'm afraid, only filling up for the journey actually there and back

 

[DazJ]

Jeez, won't be able to afford 2 tanks i'm afraid, only filling up for the journey actually there and back

Same here, I'll be jumping in with someone so won't miss the drive

 

[Dave..]

Jeez, won't be able to afford 2 tanks i'm afraid, only filling up for the journey actually there and back

The downside :dapprove:

I was in two minds about how long to make it, people seem to want to do the Cat & Fiddle as they're coming from far away.
