rothers2901 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi all myself and Linda are planning to travell to the Lakes meeting on Friday 24th at about 10.00 hrs. I'm hoping to arrange various meeting points throughout the route ending up with a number of Z's travelling together to the hotel and possibly stopping for a bite to eat on the way. If anyone is interested post your name and proposed route so i can formulate meeting piont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladesGrant Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Same here, I will probably meet up with Ian around here though first as we are pretty close anyway (location wise, I don't actually like him!! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 About time this thread was revisited . I've had a look at the map and it seems that the best meeting point for those coming up from Wales, The Midlands, The South and parts of The North West would be the Charnock Richard service area on The M6. There is a service area further south at Lymm but this looks to be mainly a Truck Stop. We could also pick up those travelling cross country at one of the two Moto service areas in Lancaster or Burton? I'm fairly easy about the meeting time as I'm off all day Friday but would suggest between 1pm and 3pm for the first meet up. Over to you guys Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rothers2901 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Nice one Wasso, cant wait to see your finished project in the flesh so to speak, great styling. Is the time ok 1300/1400?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Time is fine as the Mrs will take 3 hours to pack a weekend back then an hour to try and fit it all in the car. Cheers for the comments it's been a hard slog to get it to this stage. Funding looks and power costs a fortune. I wouldn't do it again that's for sure but it's been enjoyable. Looking forward to be fair to see your beast too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eck1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Put me down for location B or anywhere along the way after Sheffield as your route isn't too far from mine especially near the city centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rothers2901 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 eck1. Cant remember exactly where you are located in Sheffield, but it may be an idea to meet up in the lay by on the right just after you go over the Lady Bower bridge, then we can tackle the Snake togetter.

That sounds like a good idea, and snake is such an impressive road. Well anywhere in Sheffield is good for me as I live in the city centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well I'll be getting onto the M6 right at the bottom, so anyone who wants a meet point for convoy up from there would be good! Other than that, can't see a problem with point C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I can be at point A if you like Rothers and we can go from there picking up eck1 at the start of the Snake Pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I can be at point A if you like Rothers and we can go from there picking up eck1 at the start of the Snake Pass? There is no point A) ?? I think it was a trick question, as there are only options for route B and C..... I had to look twice and work out what happened to route A!
