South Normanton, Alfreton, Somercotes etc meet

[Chrisgti6]

Morning all,

Over on 197.net I have started arranging a meet on Sunday 4th of November. We haven't settled on a time or location yet so this is just a heads up.

We're hoping to meet in a good location for photos, so if anyone has any suggestions that would be good. We don't want to travel too far though.

So far there are 5 of us with various 197's and 200's.

Anyone interested?

Chris

 

[Harpham]

I may be able to pop along in my dirty shed, but I imagine that ill be hungover.

McDonalds? Brap

I can't think of anywhere around there that may be decent for photos though, unless you have a look around the industrial estate?

 

[Chrisgti6]

We were thinking out towards Matlock or somewhere

 

[AlexJT]

Could do it in KFC if McD's is too clichéd?

 

[Dave..]

Matlocks far too middle class for McDonalds and KFC

 

[The Russian.]

Matlock is all starbucks and walking boots, ha

il have a pop along to, with my snapper, need to get some good shots of mine for once.

Chris was you in tesco about an hour ago?

 

[AlexJT]

Haha I meant in Alfreton.
Should be a good chance for some photo's if we get a few of us together.

Anyone got any ideas as to a location?

LOL no doubt you will!

I'll be far too wasted still...f**k driving.

Yeah that would have been me, are you the guy I met at French car show? You know my dad? Youve got a mate with a red megane?

 

[The Russian.]

Yeah, that's me mate, see you quite regular at tesco too.

 

[lewisflintham]

Can you still get to Gulliver's Kingdom car park at Matlock Bath?

 

[Chrisgti6]

Yeah, that's me mate, see you quite regular at tesco too.

Yesh I feel like I live there sometimes!!

Not sure about the gullivers kingdom car park, isn't that place still running?

 

[The Russian.]

Yeah the car parks always open and decent photos "could" be taken.

 

[Coops Mk1]

issue is the gippos, usually its full of them but with fireworks on at the mo the council have been pretty handy at shifting them on so should be clear.

i may be about next sunday, will see if i have any cash. theres the 'petrol station' at Wessington (storage 2000) and with it being sunday the arsey bloke who owns it/his secretary shouldnt be there to frown/shout/move us on but if theres loads of us may be a bit too much attention drawn. alport height is pretty nice as well but all the walkers will be there perhaps

 

[Gray]

Might come along seeing as it's so local...

 

[Dave..]

I may bring a bit of sophistication to the party.

 

[Chrisgti6]

What time is good for everyone? late morning, early afternoon? I know we haven't settled on a location yet but at least we can decide a time!

 

[Coops Mk1]

anytime after 11 is good for me, and before 7pm

 

[Gray]

Curfew for the electronic tag?

 

[Chrisgti6]

How about Alport height? Nipped up there earlier.


It's here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=UT...a=X&ei=KVmNUPjLCYSp0QWqpICoCQ&ved=0CC0Q8gEwAA


Here's a pic I took (weather is ****e today) it's got two large carparks and great views. Only bad thing is its a bit rough ground on the way in.

 

[Dave..]

I can see my house from there.

No need to take the car.

 

[Chrisgti6]

So, it's either the above location, or Ogston res.

Meeting at the Peacock @ Oakerthorpe 11am.

 

[Gray]

Meeting at the Peac**k @ Oakerthorpe 11am.

Sounds good, but why not just stay at the peacock?

 

[Dave..]

Sounds good, but why not just stay at the peac**k?

Because Alport is 10 seconds away for me.

 

[Chrisgti6]

And has much better views etc

 

[Coops Mk1]
