Dawn Raid latest

[burriana500]

Mr Pejica - do not dare let the good name of Yorkshire down! If I can do it from East Yorks and all that

Right Nonny - I'm with Dav on this, bollox to the faint hearts, we'll just put a fair few stops in and take some serious pics to really push the point home that a good run was missed by all (but a few).

Ok then, meet at the Travel Lodge at 06.10 for a 06.30 departure. Any later and we will hit the early morning ramblers/trippers.

Steven - I have a family room booked at the travel lodge with pullout bed and sofa, you are welcome to either and I can meet up with you on the way across the M62.

Nonny/Oggs - what time are we meeting on the saturday evening?

[hobo]

What time is this drive going to finish ?

I'd be up for it but i've got a cricket match at 2pm, so would have to be back in leeds by 1pm.

[stepej]

al

thanks for the offer(s) but i do have a considerably better offer for the saturday evening which was the reason for me not wanting a too early start sunday am.

i'll be there for a 6.30 start... consider me added to the list


stepej chim 4.5

[burriana500]

No probs Steven.

Mark - I reckon we'll be done by 9.30 at the latest - I'm planning on being home by 11am.

go onnnn, you know you want to

WARNING

Plod have been out in force lately on the cat n fiddle road. Caused a bit of havoc for the NW Lotus club run the other month with a few cars being pulled for questionable front plate sizes and the like.

It may not be a problem at the God awful hour you propose but you never can tell. I'd imagine a copper on duty at 6.30am would most likely be pissed off with life and consider his day made when sighting a bunch of fast motors approaching!!

Think I'll see a few more of you over at Tatton rather than pass up the joy of the duvet

Cheers,
Rob

[deeen]

yes i will definately be there (orange chim)

Right guys - Time to come out of the woodwork. We KNOW are coming; Oggs/Nonny - Chim Burriana500 - Griff 500 Davrian - 911 Carrera If you are coming, or are booked into the Travel Lodge for Christ's sake let us know! >> Edited by burriana500 on Thursday 3rd June 08:44

Evening All,

To this I understand can be added

fto2tuscan - FTO
stepj – Chim 4.5
Vorland – 911 GT3

Time it will finish – as Burriana said, it won’t be late, run should take 3 – 3.5 hours.

I reckon I’ll get to the Travelodge by 6pm at the latest. IIRC there’s a pub just up the road, the Vernon Arms, could try for a bite to eat.

And B19 – thanks for the warning, mate.

Try and avoid the Vernon if you can, it's crap! Go a little bit further in to Poynton and there's plenty of good eating, curry, italian etc.

No worries, hope you all have a good run out! Beep as you go past the small Co-op on the Macc end of the Cat n Fiddle, I'll be a sleep 1/2 a mile down the road

Cheers,
Rob

[motormad]

very much regret I can't make it - stuck at sea somewhere off Ireland... I'm missing all the brilliant weather at home - nothing but rain here...
If you see a bronze MGB LE with female driver give her a wave, SWMBO is driving across in the early hours to Donnington for the Metallica concert... (escorting a friends daughter - she says...)

Have a great time - maybe do this myself in August...
in 'Edgar'.

Cheers
Graham

Right guys - The list is now starting to look a bit more respectable Oggs/Nonny - Chim Deen - Chim Stepj - Chim Burriana500 - Griff 500 Hobo - T350 Davrian - 911 Carrera Vorland - 911 GT3 oh Fto2tuscan - Fto HeeBeeGeeTbee - car? or can I guess

So by my reckoning we have Nonny, Oggs, Heebee and myself at the Travel Lodge. I will try to be there by 6.30, I think it should only take an hour and half on a saturday. Beer + pizza or curry sounds good.

Nonny, I'll email you so we can exchange mobile Nos.

[burriana500]

Double B*llox ... I was looking forward to following that.

By the way - I have printed off 6 spare sets of the route instructions... hopefully, I will also remember to bring them

[oggs]

I've only just realised how far it is from me... 165.7 miles 2 hrs 57 mins

I wonder how busy the M6 will be and what time to leave to get at the hotel for 6-6.30.

It's gonna be some pre- Le mans work out thats for sure.

Any idea on what the M6 is like on Saturday afternoons??

I'll get there when i get there tho...

Well I'm leaving home now and going via Wales! That should confuse 'em!

[burriana500]

Oggs - i wouldn't have thought the M6 would be too bad on a saturday, specially with the new Toll.

Deeen - YHM.

[Nonny Nimity]

Hi Oggs,

Yeah, I'd second the proposal to use the M6 Toll, much as it grates to say so. There are roadworks due to start on the M6 itself, don't know if they have yet, but also you can never rule out the fact that there is a humongous Ikea store right next to J9.

You can leave M6 at J18, and if you check the map, there is a back road that avoids downtown Macclesfield.
Might be worth avoiding all the Saturday shopping numpties.

See you Sat pm.

Cheers,
NN

[burriana500]

Right guys - I'm off home so will be off line.

See you all either 6.30 ish tomorrow at the travel lodge or 06.00 the following morning!

Nonny, hobo, Oggs and Deeen all have my mobile if required.

al.

[fto2tuscan]

oops, sorry - just catching up.

will be at the travellodge then for 6.00 - 6.10.

who was it thats coming up the M6 in the morning? if you mail me through my profile and let me know rougly what time you'll be around junction 14 and i'll give you my mobile number -

CONVOY!

and dont chicken out - maybe something in general gassing to alert more people of what happening in 12 hours time

[stainless_steve]
