You could always join the North Yorks drive
Youd both be welcome

Cheers gemini! I've just read the thread and I have to say that the chances of myself and Dougie getting to York for 11am are pretty remote. I didn't got to bed until nearly 4am after our last Midland's bash. Neither of us will be in a fit state to drive much before mid-day. Maybe next time. It would be great fun, I know.

Well, if you do end up at Donnie, come and say hello! I'm racing in the Ginetta Car number 2 (Blue with a yellow stripe). Not difficult to spot as I'm the only girlie amoung 44 blokes (not that I'm complaining )

That'll be 2 PHer's in that series then if Daydreamer is racing again this season, it'll be the PH challange before long

Emma, just an idea, why dont we have a run out on the Saturday, then the Thai in the evening, then the racing on the Sunday. A really intensive PH weekend, by the end of which, we will be sick of the sight of each other

Look mate, I'm sick of the sight of you already, but if you really do want a drive out on the Saturday... THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC!

Where and when? Got to be the Peaks really hasn't it? Got to be for at least half a day hasn't it? Got to be back for at least 5pm. Shall we lunch before or have a blast out to a suitable eatery, then hoon the rest of the afternoon away?

Well guys, it is only four days away now, so I guess we really should make some decisions. Are we going to go for a run out on the Saturday as Sunday is going to be set aside for the GT racing at Donnington?

We need to arrange a time and a place to meet too. How about midday? Time to get to somewhere in the sticks in time for lunch. Where shall we drive out to? The Dales? We need not be back in Nottingham until about 6pm. All thoughts and opinions gladly welcomed.

What about Nottingham edging towards Derby to start off with? then up north into the Peak District for a light lunch/snack. A515 towards Buxton, make it up from there.

As for a starting point? what about 12 noon, the big car park outside Next/Decathlon/Ikea on the A610 near junction 26 of the M1. I know a great route from there through Heage, Belper, Ashbourne, Buxton. Lots of quiet roads west of the A515, return via Dovedale, back through Derby, easy coast into Nottingham on the A52..

Sounds good to me Warren! Count me in for 12 midday meet. Shall we meet nearer Next/Decathlon as Ikea induces a nervous twitch in my right arm?

Sounds good to me too, though I could do with being at the hotel for 5pm to book in, shower change etc.
Which side of J26 is this place the Ripley side or the Nottingham side?
Emma if I haven't turned up by 12 text me as I is lost
