Xmas Break Meet

[MrVert]

Just wondering if there's any car related stuff going on in between Xmas & New Year?

Would be up for a meet / run out on 28th if there's enough people up for it and it's dry...

Anyone about to blow the cobwebs off?

Sounds like a good idea MrVert (I was planning an early morning run to the Welsh coast, maybe Barmouth).

I'll always find an opportunity for a Peak District run out with breakfast enroute & we could still be back for lunchtime I know a few nice roads & it could suit all types of cars including the slightly lower powered ones like mine

Wasn't planning on going quite that far RESSE...as it'll be weather dependent to a certain extent.

Would you be up for a more Midlands based hoon?

Cheers.

Could be up for something Peak District based? Having just taken delivery of a new toy I'm itching to see what it's like on some twistys.

Last year, there was a meeting at Oundle, it was well attended and a nice relaxed atmosphere with some nice cars. Sadly, it seems its not being run this year !

Enlighten us on your new toy

[MrVert]

It was in his original post.....then edited......won't spoil it though

Great car......I use one daily.....absolutely love it....

[MrC986]

I'll throw out to those interested the possibility of the morning of Bank Holiday Tuesday (27th)?? If anyone wants a run out into the Derbyshire Peak District, then we can do something (domestic approval given for me ) The suggestion would be to meet somewhere around Lichfield at 08.30 to head into the Peaks for a loop & to return back to the starting point for lunchtime (including a quick stop for a drink/breakfast). If we do it, then I'll clearly not publish the route on the forum although the general direction would be towards Leek - Buxton - Ashbourne & back with quite a lot of B/unclassified roads taken in & I coincidentally tried a possible new route last Sunday

PS just realised MrVert suggested the 28th although I'm conscious that levels of traffic are worth considering to maximum the enjoyment of a run to the Peaks, hence the suggestion of the Bank Holiday Tuesday - sorry

Nothing to fancy, just the latest Golf GTi for my daily driver.

A drive through the Peaks is good with me, just can't do 29th onwards.

I would like to say 'definitely' but whether I can attend will depend on family commitments...........

I could be up for a Peak District hoon, depending on weather and/or domestic approval.

The weather currently looks cold & dry for the morning of the 27th (& it will be cold given we'd be going right up onto the top & running along a few of the ridges with the likely wind chill but that's why you've got a bobble hat if you're going topless ). I've done quite a few variations route-wise in the past when I was a noisy biker.

What do you mean if?

It would have to be the 28th for me chaps, got family over on the 27th.

South Peaks would be about an hour from me but do-able and probably moe interesting roads
