Any one from Shropshire meet up often??

[davecrook1]

i just wondered in anyone in shropshire area meet up often..for meets etc

[Conian]

Im near Shrops... and certainly aint any meets in my county, so if there was one in Shrops I might well tag along.

B/north is a lovely lil place dude.

[Richair]

There's a thread here about some meets held at the Last Inn at Newport; i've not been to any though!

Would certainly be interested in getting something regular organised once the better weather is upon us (long way off though...lol).

The combination of the drive home from the office this week (daily drudgery with numpty drivers), and the fact that a new Alfa 147 Q2 Sport arrives on Monday has got me thinking about a Shropshire Hoon.

Starting at The Last Inn, a drive on some of Shropshire's quieter roads that are free of scameras and (hopefully) slow numpty drivers.

I'm still thinking about it, but initial thoughts are:

Newport to Crudgington
Crudgington to Shrewsbury Bypass via Roden
Off the bypass on to the "old" A5
Right at the Mytton & Mermaid towards Ironbridge
Stop off for eats at The Meadow
And.........

I'm still thinking about the last stretch.

Any thoughts? Comments? Route alterations?

[esprit350]

good route there. the north midland esprit group use a lot of those roads , we meet at the lamb in Newport sometimes

I usually go to the Last Inn meets - small but a good group. The Last Inn suits some us Staffordshire dwellers


A hoon from there once the weather has picked up a bit would be good - should have my 270bhp/370Nm upgrade done by the end of January!

Definately up for a decent drive (weather permitting- salt on road = no for me im afraid!). Nice to see you've included both the high ercal and wroxeter B roads; two of the best around! From Ironbridge we could head to brosely and drive the road to Much Wenlock , than take the A458 to cressage and then drive the other way along the wroxeter road to the old A5?

If not, I have an absolute EPIC shropshire route which drives most of the best roads in the county. But, its probably not the best winter route im afraid as it passes through a few more 'agricultural' areas.

I like the cut of your jib on that one. That little stretch from Cressage to the crossroads heading towards Eaton Constantine is a gem.

From there, how about hanging a right at the old A5 junction, then left after the antiques shop eventually passing the sugar beet factory???

[Richair]

Thats not a bad idea, then for those that are heading that way we could head back to newport on the crudgington road...

Hmmmmmmm

[v6ter]

Just a heads up

Next Shropshire/Staffs meet at The Last Inn - Next Monday 7pm onwards hope to see you there.

A new post will be up tomorrow reminding people.

[theboss]

Hey guys I'm in Bridgnorth too... recently moved here from the SE so don't know any locals... I'm always game for a beer though.

[Naughty Magpie]

Scott (scottieb) & I are from Bridgnorth/Alveley originally but have moved away for a few years. We're up probably twice a month from March-October & are always up for a blast early morning round those Shropshire/Welsh roads.

My thoughts exactly.......

Maybe we should chat about this next Monday at the meet?

The Alfa was delivered yesterday, and I know it needs a good hoon

Simon

[Richair]

Will discuss on monday then!

I'm up for that Rich - esp if the roads are not salty....and preferably dryish at least

[davecrook1]

im from B'north too so let us know when ur on about going then and i'll gladly join in too!!!

[v6ter]

There was talk about a 'drive out' at the Staffs/Shrops meet Monday just gone. The general consensus was that it would be ideal in early March when the salts off the road and the weather is better. I think we are all counting down the days!

There were some routes sugested - maybe worth a new topic to see what people think about routes, starting location etc...

I am up for it (the drive that is)
