M13KYF Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Andy. You'll be organising the next one as punishment Thanks Mike, I'd accept that if I knew everyone would be happy with - drive to pub, drink lots, leave cars, stagger home. There's no way I could organise something as well as Jacko has!!! wuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 how about stockport, manchester mob meet here at 8.30. Mike, I'll be coming down the M62, M6 way so meet you at the services near J14 at 9am. Does anyone know what they are called by the way? I can't remember and will have to look at my road atlas..... (which I haven't got in the office today ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Its this one by the way I believe...... I've never been but I know one of us said you can get on both ways. I think its one off a roundabout anyway, so will be approachable from both directions. http://www.roadchef.com/locations/chester.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Chris, I would reckon it will take longer than 1 hour to get to J14 on the M56. Reckon it would be nearer 1 1/4 hours. To get from Dronfield to the start of the m56( off the M60) takes just under an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I know. But we deemed a 7:30 start too early for us. (we are lazy). So decided that more right foot would make the time up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Weather update, Looks a bit crappy and rain showers over here (when we start) but looks better when we get to Wales. I've done a quick reccy of some of he places and most are dry with even a little bit of sun, so here's hoping! At least it looks like it will get better the more into Wales we'll go....

lomoto Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi Jacko ,anywhere to eat whilst we are out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi Jacko ,anywhere to eat whilst we are out?? Yeah I remember a couple of pubs, but we go through a few towns so we can alway stop somewhere if people want to. I think Bala has a few places, but its been a while since I've been there tbh. Sure there will be though..... Either that or there will probably be the obligatory fast food stand at Bala lake etc. Don't worry I eat for England, so I'll be wanting some food of some sort!

D4V3 GT4 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Guys I'm worried I'm gonna be late on suday as I always am! If I'm not there on time leave without me I'll catch up, I don't want to hold anyone up, I've got Jackos number and he has mine. I'm leaving work and don't have internet access at the moment at home, so if anyone needs to contact me speak with Jacko to get my number. (sorry I posted in the wrong place before!!)

Hi Kev., what route are you taking ? and we,ll meet up somewhere I,m near Alfreton BTW Hi Guys, Checked the map and it will take us 1 1/2hours at least. So what time should we go. I used to work in Northwich so know part of the route well. From Belper and Alfreton I would recommend Ashbourne, Leek, Congleton, Holmes Chapel then Northwich. Then onto the A533 to join M56 J12. Chris, you could either drive down to us or meet us at probably Leek. What do you reckon? I think it's looking like a 7:30am start.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy at 7:30am or shall we make it a little later for Chris? Depends if he's going to meet us on route I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
