Dawn raid, anyone?
Discussion
I would be up to a 05:00 ish start. Luca's suggestion of a breakfast mid-point allows a bit of a rest and a good chance for the 'did you see ... ' chat. Breakfast at a greasy spoon at 07:00 and an hour more hooning may be worth considering.
Count me in as a possible - I have no idea where home will be by then !

hi - i'm brand new. been watching the forum for a while and i figure now was the time to sign up...
if it's ok with you - i'm in. so long as a humble FTO is allowed and welcomed.
my other thing is. i'm a graphic and web designer by trade - i could really do with getting the cameras out at something like this...do you think that would be ok... i swear to god you can key my car if i'm lieing...i will NOT put anyones car with reg online anywhere or anything like that.
Does this sound ok?
Also, i've road rallied in the derby lanes (4th class
). Cant remember the OS Map number but i know i've still got the lanes plotted by my navvy. Could send/scan them for you??

Perchance, is that me you are talking about Daniel?
Can't wait for this, let's see if oggs can catch any 'interesting' moments this time

Well,
It's great to see there's plenty of interest.
FTO, I've road rallied all round there too. Map 119, much overused, IMO, but cracking lanes around there.
However, what got me into this was that I've got three routes in Derbyshire for a forthcoming classic car event. I've got all the pages with tulip diagrams on my PC, so I thought I could amalgamate them to create a suitable route for some PH hooning. I'm not talking about going daft, nowt stupid or anything like that, just a good straightforward foot down opportunity for a couple or three hours early in the morning when the roads are all ours! With complete observance of Her Madge's highway rules and regs, natch.
The route will be a mixture of some narrower lanes of interest along with some good straight cross-moorland roads which I thought were just fantastic when I drove them. I've found hairpin bends and knockout views. It can be really quite dramatic country around those parts.
The thing with having the roadbooks is that it'll mean we don't just have to follow each other, we can run at our own individual pace. As I said before, it'll mean that passengers can take a part in the proceedings also. Those who can't find or don't want to bring a passenger/lump of lard
can tag on to some one else and follow, but at least we don't need to have a long queue of cars, all waiting for each other to catch up after junctions etc.
It'll be just set off and GO!
I really think you'd all agree it will make for a terrific drive. It really is serious driving country. Like I said, a meal together the night before (easy on the pop of course) and perhaps a lunch afterwards.
I'll keep a lookout for somewhere to stop en route, but it may not be that easy. Some of the roads are quite remote, and many of the tourist establishments won't be open at that time. We're well out of transport cafe country as well. However, I reckon I'll be out on those roads at least twice before the Summer, so I'll keep an eye out. Any of our local members have any suggestions?
As regards a date, I'm a little wary of this site being monitored, as it seems to be. Any suggestions as to how we get around this? E-mail is the obvious thing, but what about infiltrators? Am I being paranoid? Has anyone seen the aforementioned FTO?

I think that you can easily add to that:
2 Griffs
2 Tuscans
2 Cerberas
3 Chimaeras at least
1 T350
1 Westfield
Should wake the natives up

If theres a pub en-route, may a local member could have a word with them to see if they would be willing to open up and provide coffee and bacon butties.
We'll be there depending on the date.

Depending on date, you could add a humble MR2 tot he list. I'll just tell the Missus that we're going for a quiet break in the country..... with any luck I could be back at the hotel / travelodge / whatever before she wakes up
After all, I wouldn't want her to think I'd took her away just so I could give her car a good thrashing! groomi said:

Well,
There's been loads of interest. Sadly, there's a PH wedding near the proposed date, which means a couple of prominent members can't make it. I think I'll e-mail everyone with a choice of three dates and we'll go from there. I don't want to run too early due to unreliability of weather etc.
Will be contacting you all...
